Passage through the well-kept historic town center. Touristy, with the necessary infrastructure. Also for cyclists.

The route up from Biere on the Swiss side is a solid steady climb with a few 12% and 13% sections. Traffic is quite light and the road is excellent. The trees give some nice protection from the sun and wind. Crossing the col northwards takes you down to the Vallé de Joux on a pretty steep decent with great corners and some short straights. My brakes made sounds I have never heard before! I did this and Col de Mollendrux together for a great 80k / 1,500 m ride. Recommended.

The climb up to La Barilette begins in the village of Gingins, slightly elevated above Lake Geneva, and winds its way through the shady forest for almost 1,000 meters to the antenna. There, you can enjoy fantastic views of the lake and the surrounding area.

The village of Saint-George is nestled in a typical Jura environment. Its name refers to the prince of Cappadocia who, according to legend, freed a city or a princess by defeating a dragon. The myth explains the presence of the creature on the village's coat of arms.
