After following the shore of Lake Joux for a while, the Grand Tour continues along the River Orbe from Vallorbe to Yverdon-les-Bains.

From Lausanne, the Grand Tour of Switzerland takes you through woodland scenery and green meadows to the Vallée de Joux. No doubt you'll want to open the windows to enjoy the fresh air and calm of the Jura vaudois. The itinerary runs along the Lac de Joux, through Les Bioux, L'Abbaye and Pont harbour, ending in Vallorbe.
