This guide presents Switzerland's Jura Crest Trail or Cretes du
Jura (also known as the Jura High Route and Swiss national route 5.
This 310km long-distance route traverses the sub-alpine mountains
of the Swiss Jura from Dielsdorf near Zurich to Nyon on the shores
of Lac Leman (Lake Geneva), running roughly parallel to the
Swiss-French border. With over 13,500m of ascent, the trail demands
a moderate level of fitness and can be comfortably completed in
around a fortnight. The Jura Crest Trail is easily accessed from
Zurich and Geneva. The region boasts excellent walking
infrastructure and facilities, and although the trail crosses the
mountains, you are seldom too far from civilisation. The guide
contains all the information you need to plan and walk the route.
You'll find advice on transport and comprehensive details of
accommodation and refreshments. The trek itself is presented from
east to west in 14 stages of 12-32km, with step-by-step route
description accompanied by clear mapping and notes on local points
of interest. The Jura Crest Trail boasts far-reaching views of the
Bernese Oberland, the Haute Savoie and the Rhine and Rhone Valleys,
and is rich in geological, natural and historical interest. Passing
through woodland and alpine meadows and crossing rolling limestone
plateaux, highlights include the spectacular amphitheatre of the
Creux du Van, the medieval towns of Baden and Brugg, and Lac de
Joux, the largest lake in the Jura mountains.
