Switzerland, known for its majestic Alps, also hides a far less towering but equally fascinating mountain range in the northwest: the Swiss Jura. Stretching between Zurich, Basel, and Lake Geneva, it is one of the most beautiful mid-mountain landscapes in Europe. The Rother Hiking Guide to the Swiss Jura presents the 50 most beautiful hikes in this breathtaking region.
The hikes allow you to immerse yourself in the diversity of the Jura arc - from the idyllic ridges of the Lägerengrat near Zurich to the picturesque northwestern Switzerland around Basel, Solothurn, and Delémont, and on to the charming cantons of Neuchâtel and Vaud. The trails reach altitudes of up to 1,700 meters, winding through endless forests and lush meadows where cows and horses graze. From leisurely circular walks to challenging crossings of entire ridges, the hiking guide offers the perfect route for every hiker. Along the way, you can experience dizzying views, spectacular panoramas, and deeply carved gorges. And not to forget, the idyllic Jura villages enchant with their culinary traditions, making every hike a delightful experience.
Each hike is presented with a reliable route description, a map excerpt showing the marked route, and a precise elevation profile. The color-coded difficulty rating makes it easy to choose the right tour. Numerous photos of the nature and landscapes of the Swiss Jura ignite the wanderlust. Verified GPS tracks are available for download, ensuring the best safety and orientation. Additionally, all hikes are accessible by train and bus, which not only protects the environment but also makes the hiking day particularly relaxed and stress-free.
This Rother Hiking Guide allows you to experience the untouched nature of the Swiss Jura and the beauty of the region.
