Jura tourism
Price:
The Jura range offer a variety of tourist activities including hiking, cycling, skiing and cross-country skiing. There are many signposted trails including the Jura ridgeway, a 310 km hiking route.
Tourist attractions include natural features such as the Creux du Van, lookout peaks such as the Chasseral and caves such as the Grottes de l’Orbe and gorges such as Taubenloch, and for amateurs of Swiss Watches, touring the “Watch Valley”[dead link] that stretches all across the Swiss Jura, from Schaffhausen to Geneva.
Both Le Locle and its geographical twin town La Chaux-de-Fonds have now been recognised as an UNESCO World Heritage Site, for their horological and related cultural past. The Fort de Joux is located in a rocky natural site which make it an impressing monument and an important touristic destination.
