One’s spirit soars in this landscape with its austere charm, its wide-open expanses that seem to stretch for ever, beyond every hilltop and forest.

Because the slopes are generally gentle, the Bernese Jura is perfect for families to explore, whether on foot or by bike: no less than four national – and several regional – routes of the SwitzerlandMobility network run through it, suited to every taste and level of ability, all clearly signposted. For mountain bikers, the Chasseral is the ultimate playground; watch fans will love the remarkable Longines Museum in St. Imier; while anyone with a sweet tooth will adore the Camille Bloch chocolate factory in Courtelary. For a uniquely restful ride, hop aboard a boat in the little town of La Neuveville, for a gentle cruise on Lake Biel.
