Between intense effort, lush landscapes and exhilarating descents you will find sporting balance.

The start of this 31 km loop is in the charming village of Villeret. The cyclist will get off to a flying start with a climb towards the Chasseral, the fourth highest peak in the Jura. The sportsman will meet several metairies on his route, in which he will be able to stop to quench his thirst. Note that the "métairie du Milieu" has a magnificent view of the Chasseral antenna. From the top of the Chasseral, the panorama is breathtaking. Indeed, the view offers a plunging glance on the Plateau and the Region of the Three Lakes or on the Ballon des Vosges and the Black Forest.
