An electric adventure in the heart of the Jura
What if you explored the Franches-Montagnes differently? With the PowerBike, set off on an electric cycling adventure in the heart of the Jura. Between wild nature, local heritage and thrilling sensations, enjoy an unforgettable day – alone, with friends or with family.
The concept is simple: pick up your PowerBike at Saignelégier train station and follow a signposted route through forests, pastures and typical villages. Along the way, take a break at the Étang de la Gruère, a local cheese dairy, or the Ski Museum. And for the way back? Hop on a CJ train – PowerBike included.
There are two models available: a standard electric bike up to 25 km/h, accessible from age 16 (no license required), and a more powerful one up to 45 km/h, from age 14 with a category M license. In both cases, a helmet and a smartphone holder are provided, so you can follow the route via the SuisseMobile app.
What makes the experience unique is the combination of sustainable mobility and active discovery. You ride at your own pace through exceptional landscapes, with the option to enhance your outing with cultural or foodie stops. The itinerary is well-designed, technically easy, and the views are stunning.
It’s the perfect activity for anyone looking to get off the beaten track and explore the Jura in a fun and eco-friendly way. Accessible, engaging, and sustainable – PowerBike is a great alternative to traditional excursions.
