A wonderful hike in the Vaud Jura, from L'Abbaye over the highest peak in the Swiss Jura to Le Sentier. How fitting the name Mont Tendre (Gentle Mountain) is. Vast pastures, open stretches of forest, and a fantastic view from the summit. You can even catch a glimpse of Geneva’s Jet d’Eau.

This was the last stage of our hike through Switzerland in the best autumn weather – from one national border to another. It leads from Le Brassus back to the heights of the Jura (1530m) with views towards Geneva, over high alpine meadows to the farmstead Croué (1470m), from where it then goes quickly downhill to La Cure, where the train back to Croy-Romainmôtiers is already waiting.

This was in October 2015 the second to last section of our pilgrimage hike from Lake Constance to the French border, which began in autumn 2010. This section in the Jura was the most beautiful along with the following one from Le Brassus to Le Cure, even though it has probably the most elevation gain and is about 19 miles long.
