Schelten Pass from Ramiswil

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

You have to earn the view and the departure from Scheltenpass! From Mervelier, the road rises 13km to the pass steadily with z.T. steep ramps. In the first part to Schelten one is often still in the shadow of the forest and it accompanies a rippling of the racheting in the gorge. The upper part is then relentless in the sun and if then tropical temperatures of 34'C to come as in my tour, you are dried up like a pomme chips. But then you will be rewarded with a fast descent to Balsthal. Attention, there are always sections with rockfall, i. Stones on the road, and road sections with coarse holes in the pavement.

Schelten Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Scheltenpass, one of my favorite passes. On the Jurassic side, along the Scheltebach, it is particularly romantic. Unfortunately, there is a motorcycle race here on Sundays and public holidays as well.

Schelten Pass from Mervelier

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Difficult ascent on a well-paved, narrow road; hardly any motor vehicle / motorcycle traffic: an IDEAL VELOPASS!

Grotto of Sainte-Colombe

Highlight • Cave

Impressive grotto and pilgrimage site. You should really stop here and enjoy the gentle coolness and fill your bottle with the water from the Karlsquelle (which is said to have healing powers).

Inside the grotto, a small karst spring rises. The water flows as a trickle from a stalagmite into a shallow basin. There is a crucifix under the entrance arch of the grotto, which is dedicated to Saint Columba of Sens, a martyr from the 3rd century. Since the 13th century, the place has been the destination of a pilgrimage that takes place on August 15th. The spring water is said to have miraculous healing powers.

Sorne Gorge Road (Gorges du Pichoux)

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The trip through the Sorne Gorge is worth it both up and down. The change in scenery is dramatic and unexpected. At the upper end of the Sorne Gorge lies the lovely pastureland around Bellelay, a well-known centre for horse breeding.
At the lower end lies Undervelier, in the fairly densely populated Soulce Valley. In between is this gorge, where the Sorne has eaten its way into the limestone in a spectacular way, creating a fantastic landscape.
The road layout in this narrow gorge contributes to this fascinating section, the Sorne bubbles, gurgles and rushes next to the road.
Definitely plan for this if you are travelling in the region!

A climb (or descent) at its finest

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The little-traveled road from Perrefitte up to Les Ecorcheresses at 920 meters offers an excellent opportunity to get to the Gorges de Sorne west of Souboz. The slope is pleasantly balanced and only pulls a little on the long home straight shortly before the end. Since the surface is in perfect condition (08/2019), it is also possible to drive downhill - if you like to drive faster than 70 kilometers per hour, this is the right place.
