CROSSING

The Traversée largely follows the route of the L'Essentielle route but without the climb to Chasseral.

A route that passes through the Mt-Soleil wind farm before a steep and technical descent to St-Imier. There, instead of continuing in the direction of Combe-Grède and Chasseral, the route runs along the valley halfway up the forest before joining the long route and tackling the steep climb above Cortébert. Arrived at the top, we feel the arrival and the final descent on Tramelan.
