Trip
Two Days in Delémont.
The youngest cantonal capital in Switzerland, Delémont charms visitors with its rich heritage and beautifully preserved old town.
Home to around 12,000 inhabitants, Switzerland’s youngest cantonal capital blends the charm of a village with the conveniences of a small town. Its old town, with cobbled streets and centuries-old façades, invites slow discovery on foot.
A stay in the Jura is the perfect opportunity to explore Delémont at yourwn pace and pair it with cycling tours through the surrounding countryside. Between heritage and wide-open landscapes, it’s an ideal escape to experience the capital of the Jura.
We suggest starting your stay with the Circuit Secret of Delémont. Afterwards, have lunch in a restaurant near the train station before hopping on a bike to explore the Delémont valley.
Set off to discover the cantonal capital by visiting, with a digital key, seven emblematic sites such as the Porte au Loup, the St-Marcel church tower, the Corps de Garde at the Château and the Villa Vermeille.
Here, every plate tells a story, crafted with passion using local products chosen for their freshness and authenticity. Enjoy inventive, characterful cuisine and let yourself be carried away by a unique culinary experience.
Head to the neighbouring village of Courtételle, located just 3 minutes by train from Delémont, to rent a bicycle, with or without electric assistance.
Set off on a ride through pastures and forests in the Delémont valley. This loop takes you through the charming villages of Courfaivre, Develier, Vicques and Courrendlin.
