Public transport and cycling: it's a match!

When traveling by public transport in Switzerland, you can transport your bike without any worries. With a bike route ticket, bike day pass or bike passport, you can load your bike yourself on many public transport routes in Switzerland.

Et la bonne nouvelle, c’est que dans le Nord vaudois, le transport des vélos dans le train reliant Sainte-Croix à Yverdon-les-Bains est gratuit ! Une belle opportunité pour les amateurs de VTT qui souhaiteraient explorer les itinéraires dans la région de Sainte-Croix / Les Rasses.

Bonus on your Jura outings: alpine chalets

During your cycling or mountain biking outings on the Jura crests, you’ll have the chance to stop for a well-deserved break in one of the many alpine chalets in the region. These little mountain inns offer visitors typical, tasty dishes based on local produce. As many locals do, these chalets serve as a target for outings where comfort is as important as effort. And I promise you, there are plenty of good things to eat and drink in these chalets.
