"A technical training session on the paths of the Val Terbi. After passing the capital of the canton of Jura with its fine old town, we climb to the Haute-Borne and follow the ridge to the Col des Rangiers. There is a long descent to Ocourt before we reach the banks of the Doubs then St-Ursanne, where we spend the night. The climb to Les Sairains that awaits us the next day will be thirsty work (let's not forget to fill our flasks!). Looking south from Les Sairains, we have the chance to admire the Franches-Montagnes, the chain of the Chasseral and even the peaks of the Bernese Alps. A wonderful treat for the eyes that will delight everyone. At Les Enfers, we are safe! Although the route to Mont-Soleil is hilly, it is not particularly difficult and leaves us free to enjoy the wonderful landscapes on the plateau of the Franches-Montagnes. At Mont-Soleil, our final destination, we visit the solar power station."
