On Route No. 7 through the Val de Travers
Fleurier - Val-de-Travers
Select your Region:
The rocky landscape in the Upper Val de Travers is stunningly
beautiful. One might say it is tailor-made for extensive discovery
tours by mountain bike. The Chapeau de Napoleon - the landmark of the
town of Fleurier - is the starting point for some especially attractive
routes. Among them is Route 7, which takes you up to the French border.
En route there are a very few hefty ascents. The single trails, which
are strewn with limestone polished smooth by the elements, require good
biking skills and make the tour a technical treat, especially on a wet
surface.
