A (long) walk in the Jura from La Cure across Mont Sâla (1511m) and ending in Saint-Cergue. There are no difficulties on this hike but you need to be able to walk 20 kilometers (~7 hours including breaks). On a clear day, the hike offers outstanding views across the entire alpine range.

We finish the hike in Saint-Cergue and for those interested will end the hiking season with a fondue in one of the restaurants. Return to Geneva via train.
