Departure from Trimbach (Canton de Soleure) (Canton of Solothurn)
Stage 13 – From Les Rousses to Lake Constance via the Jura ridges.
This demanding stage takes us over five successive passes: after Hauenstein come Schafmatt, Salhöhe, Bänkerjoch and finally the Staffelegg Pass. Between these passes, the terrain becomes more intense with the ascent of the Geissfluh, a steep peak marking the border of the canton of Basel-Landschaft. The route alternates between dense Jura forests, peaceful clearings and a few open pastures, offering a beautiful variety of landscapes and atmospheres.

Departure from Küttigen (Aargau)
Fourteenth stage From Les Rousses to Lake Constance via the Jura ridges. This relatively short stage takes you from the lowest pass in the Jura, the Staffelegg, offering breathtaking views of the Herzberg, Asperstrihe and Wasserfluh. You then cross vast alpine-style pastures before entering the peaceful Linnerberg forest. Take the time to stop in front of the majestic Linn Linden Tree, a legendary tree over 700 years old, with a circumference of over eleven metres, which has survived three fires. The hike continues with a long descent through the impressive Aare Gorge, finally leading to the charming historic town of Brugg, rich in heritage and atmosphere.

Departure from Olten (Canton of Solothurn)
A spring walk, a good 19 km warm-up that follows the Aare between Olten and Aarau. Nothing exceptional, but a few lovely stretches along the water’s edge, with plenty of water birds whose song is unfortunately drowned out on several occasions by the railway line, which is never far from the path. The Gösgen nuclear power station is ever-present during the first half of the route, which circles around it.
