The Crossing largely follows the route of The Essential race but without the climb to Chasseral.
The Traversée route begins with a climb on the ridge and then crosses the Mt-Crosin wind farm before a steep descent to Villeret and the 1st refreshment point. A hilly path which will follow the edge of the river for a while, ideal for restarting the machine up to Cortébert. From there, a steep climb to the crest to descend to Tramelan and the finish line.
