La Route Verte

Some natural jewels can be found in the Swiss parks. The newly designed Route Verte leads you on almost traffic-free paths from the Regional Nature Park Schaffhausen with the world-famous Rhine Falls at the door to the 800-year-old lime tree of Linn in the Aargau Jura Park.

Then you pass the rocks of the Thal Nature Park and reach the hills of the Jura. In the Parc du Doubs you will discover the typical Franches-Montagnes horses before recharging your batteries thanks to the breathtaking views in the Chasseral Regional Park. From here it is only a stone's throw past Lac de Joux to the Parc Jura vaudois just outside Geneva.

A challenging tour along the chain of hills of the Jura. The tours lead mostly on little used side roads. Only in the urban centres is a little more traffic to be expected. Because of the sometimes challenging climbs, we recommend that you tackle the tour with an electric bike. The Route Verte mostly follows the signposted routes of Veloland Schweiz. In the cantons of Jura, Neuchâtel and Vaud, orientation is easy; before that, the different routes change several times a day.
