The Franche Montagnes Tour is number 712 in the Swiss mobile application. It is a pleasant tour, in communion with nature through meadows and forests, often with animal farms. The only tedious side is often the presence of gates which are intended to retain the animals.

Official Swiss mountain bike tour 712 in a romantic setting of the franches Montagnes. The many cattle gates are easy to open, but get annoying after a while

Leisurely round over the Jura hills. A bit chilly at the beginning, but then warmer but with a headwind. Round is easy, has no technical difficulties, unless you try to jump over the numerous cow gates with your bike 😊 But wonderfully scenic 🤩
