Crossing for regular mountain bikers – Located on the “GTJ” marked and developed route, this hike is chosen on a portion where the relief lends itself perfectly to mountain biking. The stages are not too long and thus allow you to enjoy the natural spaces crossed. The discovery continues in the evening with typical accommodation. We have chosen a mix of comfort in order to favor the personality, the originality of these. These are all places that will leave you with great memories! Between the Haut-Doubs and the Haut-Jura, it is a real treat of nature and Jura culture...

In short, a superb natural setting, for a crossing where everyone can take pleasure where they want... and there is a choice!

Day 2: Villers-le-Lac – Les Cernets (Switzerland)

You reach the town of Morteau marking an open area on the meanders of the Doubs. This is followed by the village of Grand Combe Châteleu and its typical Haut-Doubs tuyé farms. The last part takes you to neighboring Switzerland via a path outside the GTJ. The ascent of Theverot warms the calves, keep it under the pedal!

Night in hotel | Elevation: + 900m | Length: 38km       

 

Day 3: Les Cernets – Rochejean

After reaching Fort du Larmont, the Château de Joux will soon be in sight, superbly erected on its rocky outcrop. It is then a technical and rugged path that leads to Mt d'Or where a mountain bike chairlift provides access to a beautiful variant passing through the summit before plunging into Rochejean.

Night in hotel | Elevation: + 810m | Length: 42km      

4 Day: Rochejean – Chalet Gaillard

Pleasant course in pre-woods crossing the entire Val de Mouthe passing by the source of the Doubs. A very panoramic path then leads to Chapelle des Bois via Chaux Neuve and the heights of Foncine. The last part reaches the Risoux forest and its only refuge

Night in refuge | Elevation: + 1150 m | Length: 50 km         

5 Day: Chalet Gaillard – Le Manon

Beautiful crossing of the forest of Risoux by these large silent tracks (white paths) to lead all downhill to the village/station of Les Rousses. Nice technical passage to reach the Bief de la Chaille before going up to Prémanon then the Combe Sambine.

Night in a guesthouse | Elevation: + 830 m | Length: 38km     

 

6 Day: Le Manon-Giron

With this stage, we taste the Jura "pure raw milk" with its high coombs, its pre-woods, its passages in pastures (single track). Certainly a milestone. A variant at the end of the route avoids the village of La Pesse via the Combe de Malatrait to reach directly the Borne au Lion, a magnificent and renowned historic site! before heading to Giron
Night in the hotel center | Elevation: + 1070 m | Length: 37 km
