Switzerland - Hiking in Chasseral - Panorama View
Jura Crest Trail Chasseral in Switzerland
The Chasseral is at 1607 m, the highest peak in the Swiss Jura. It is on the southern most chain and dominates the Swiss Mittelland. The regional naturepark can be explored on foot, by bike or on horseback.
We travelled with our Auto starting Le Landeron, Biel where we have our Mobilhome heading to the deep valley to the crown of the Bernese Jura. It was a constant but pleasant, climbing our way to the Chasseral TV Tower as seen far away. Chasseral has a big parking area, It could also be reach by the public bus. There is a hotel just by the parking area with a big terrace to dine with beautiful panoramic views of the alpines and the lakes.
So the place is ideal for a beginner, for children and seniors to just take a comfortable walk to the TV Tower.
The delightful, sensational beautiful panoramic view of the Mittelland Lakes was so amazing with views of the Alpines in a sunny warm afternoon was so ideal to hike.
The Chasseral ist just between the German and French speaking Switzerland, between industrial and rural areas. It is the transition between Jura and Mittelland.
The Chasseral can be seen from far away. It has a beautiful landscape of the forest and mountains which colors change from season to season and is rich with natural treasures and traditions.
