Route accessible to electric mountain bikes (VTTAE) with no change in difficulty (stays blue)Before setting off, we recommend reading the section Tips for hikers, equipping yourself properly, wearing a helmet, checking the condition of your bike, taking provisions and repair equipment (puncture kit, quick link, hex keys…), consulting the weather forecast, and carrying a charged phone. In any case, do not overestimate your strength and do not venture onto a trail that is too technical for you. Know when to give up, turn back, or get off your bike.
In Jura, mountain bike routes use paths and trails on private properties which may also be used for other activities. Please respect the sites by staying on marked trails and respecting other users who have priority (hikers, mountain bikers, riders, but also forestry workers, winegrowers, shepherds, etc.). It is therefore necessary to adapt and control your speed.
Jura is a natural and wild department; please respect the environment you are in: Do not throw any litter, do not make fires, do not pick wild flowers. Respect the peace of livestock and wildlife by keeping away from herds, keeping your dog on a leash, and closing gates behind you. Find out about biotope protection zones, nature reserves or Natura 2000 areas where restrictions apply.
In case of forestry work (felling, logging…), trail maintenance (trail repairs, brush clearing…) or ongoing or battue hunting zones for your safety, be prepared to give up and turn back.
