The Jura is not just the youngest canton in Switzerland (established 1979), but the one that most cherishes freedom.

In this land of wild, wide-open pastures, even the horses enjoy special privileges: the proud, half-wild Freiberger breed are kept out in the open, in fields bounded only by little stone walls. Alongside them run idyllic footpaths and bike trails; further adventures are promised by fun scooter rides, kayaking on the River Doubs, visits to splendid nature reserves and to the thrilling caves and dinosaur park at Réclère. One of the most memorable experiences on offer is a holiday in a covered wagon. For days on end, you and your family are on the road, taking care of the horse, deciding yourselves whether to spend the night in a hotel or, like the horse, sleep in straw.
