Technically simple but all the more spectacular as far as scenery is
concerned - this is how the bike tour presents itself from Vallorbe to
the Suchet Mountain and back. Close to the French border you will find
a landscape of peace and solitude. Typical Jurassic forests accentuate
the scenery. Magnificent panoramic views extend far into the
Mittelland. The Savoy Alps and the Mont Blanc are so close you can
almost touch them. And after the tour you will descend into the
Jurassic Mountains' underworl: The grottos of Vallorbe are well worth a
visit.
