The Jura mountains are a beautiful cycling area on the border of France<\/a> and Switzerland<\/a>. The area has been snowed under in terms of popularity for years by its popular neighbour, the Alps<\/a>. As far as we are concerned, this is unjustified, because you have beautiful passes, beautiful lakes and it is a lot quieter than its busy neighbour. All the more reason to visit this region this year and explore it thoroughly. If only to cycle the 'Grande Traversee'. Or to watch the men of the pro peloton race by in July. In July, the Tour De France passes through the Jura again and in the year 2024, the riders will stay in the area for almost five days. That's a big plus. in 2023, our reporter Stijn was also in the region and wrote this piece<\/a> On his experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. La Grande Traversee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It might be crazy to mention right away the highlight for cycling in Jura. Yet we do. Because La Grande Traversee is a magnificent route<\/a> which takes you from Montb\u00e9liard to Culoz in over 360 kilometres. Mountains, beautiful forests and, as mentioned before, lovely lakes are the eye-catchers of this route. Also pay attention because towards the end you will encounter the Col de Cuvery. That one is going to hurt quite a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
