Roadbook
On the French side, the Échappée Jurassienne has specific waymarking, so you just need to follow the “J” on the signposts. Between the posts, you must follow the classic FFRandonnée waymarking signs, mainly the white and red GR® marks.
On the Swiss side, the Échappée Jurassienne follows the GR5 up to Nyon, there is no specific waymarking so you just need to follow the corresponding “yellow” marks and absolutely equip yourself with an up-to-date map, GPS, or guide.
