The Tête de Ran offers a beautiful panoramic view and lies between the valleys on the ridge of the Chasseral massif. Most people come via Route 5 from the Vue des Alpes. I went across.

Enjoy the circuit around the Tête de Ran hill; in good weather, you'll have breathtaking views of the Alps. Watch out for the mountain bike signposts; you'll soon find yourself on a hiking trail.

The Saut du Doubs is a 27-meter-high waterfall located along the Doubs River, which forms the border between France and Switzerland here. The waterfall is the result of a paleohistoric landslide that filled the narrow, gorge-like Doubs Valley, which cuts deep into the limestone formations of the Folded Jura, about 14,000 years ago.

This beautiful section unfolds along winding singletrack amidst the Jura fir trees. A real treat for gravel bikers and mountain bikers.
