01/ Overview

The route

This magnificent route between the Cantons of Berne and Neuchâtel boasts a unique panorama over the plateau and the Alps. On a clear day you can even see the peak of Mont Blanc in the far distance.

The cross-country ski trail in Les Savagnières begins directly by the Le Plan-Marmet stop. It initially descends gently through open terrain before the longer climb begins. The broad expanses open up views across the Jura heights.

Around halfway, the circuit reaches its highest point near Mont d’Amin at approximately 1'250 m. The trail then descends again and loops back in a wide arc. After nine kilometres and just over two and a half hours, it ends at the starting point in Les Savagnières.

Current conditions

What to know before you set off. Closures and snow are re-checked every day.

  • How we check: Every night we match the route against the official closures and detours from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Any reported closure that touches the route shows up here.

  • How we check: We look up a live public transport connection from your starting point to the stop closest to the trailhead. If it ends further away, the nearest stop may be a cable car or bus that isn't running right now.

  • Cross-country skiing is more fun in the snow! Check local conditions before heading out.

    How we check: Snow depth estimated daily at the lowest and the highest point of the route. Estimates: check the situation on site.
