The Jura, mostly underrated, is not less hard as the passes in the Alps. The small, empty roads are a paradise for cycling in Switzerland. The highest point on this section is with 1607m the Chasseral.

Because of much more snow in the Swiss mountains as usual this time of the year and still snowing at high altitude again, Sustenpass is now expected to be open June 25th. As a result of this, ITT will be possible from July 8th on.

The grand depard of the second edition of the Swiss Bike Adventure will be on June 26th at Andermatt.
