View south from Dent de Vaulion (Stage 11)

Suggested itineraries

The route is described in 14 stages (2 weeks), averaging 22km per day. Quicker or more relaxed itineraries are possible and suggested 12, 16 and 21-day schedules are set out here. It is possible to walk the whole route in a slightly shorter timeframe of 12 days, or over a slightly longer period, which would allow for shorter daily stages, optional rest days and more time for sightseeing in places of interest. The suggestions below can be adapted to suit your own individual requirements. In the option taking 16 days, Stages 11 and 12 could be combined to add an additional rest day. In the option taking 21 days, shorter walking days at the start of the trek allow time to explore the historic spa town of Baden and picturesque Brugg.

The view towards Hauenstein is typical of the Jura landscape (Stage 2)

Shortening the trek

Not everyone tempted by the Jura Crest Trail will be able to complete 14 days of walking. Presented below are suggestions for two shorter trips and a fortnight break, combining highlights of the route with local sightseeing excursions.
