The Itinerant Tour is THE ultimate getaway format of La Transju’Cyclo! You will ride 220 km over 2 days.

Embracing the true spirit of touring, you will follow a GPS track leading you through the stunning roads and landscapes of the Jura Mountains. Featuring spruce forests, a continuous succession of glistening lakes, and mountain passes taking you up to high plateaus, this route was crafted to deliver the most authentic adventure. A true cycling journey across our wild wilderness.

From the Nozeroy plateau to the Grandvaux, explore the crown jewels of the Doubs region, journeying through the Frasne nature reserve and its ponds, taking in peaceful vistas of the Saint-Point and Remoray lakes, before tackling the Chaux-Neuve ski jumps and the majestic valley leading to Foncine. Finally, reach the GrandVallier plateau—its serene lake watched over by its steeple—for a warm, friendly, authentic Jura stopover.

On Day 2, ride through the silent, deep combes and spruce forests towards Cuttura, then reach Lake Vouglans with its vibrant hues and endless shores. Head towards the Château de Châtillon before sweeping down to the edge of Lake Chalain. More than enough to make you forget THE challenge of the day... the legendary St Christophe climb.

Come ride with us through the Jura Mountains and live the Transju’Cyclo adventure to the fullest!
