Access to the Jura Crest Trail is frequent and reliable due to the extensive public transport system in Switzerland. The topography of the Jura leads to regular undulating features such as cols, which provide good access to the trail. Details can be found in stage information boxes at the start of each section of the trail.

Accommodation

Generally the stages have several options to choose from, enabling the hiker to select the most appropriate to their needs. With the Jura Crest Trail being close to civilisation, there is always accommodation available. Unfortunately, this is not always accessible on the route, and instead you may be required to travel into a local town. This is also true of budget accommodation, whereby mountain hotels may be accessible upon a summit, but at a costly price; a hostel or campsite off the mountain completely is often much cheaper.

Outline details and suggestions are provided throughout the guide where accommodation exists. These are also provided in Appendix A. Contact details such as telephone numbers and email addresses have been provided, as booking ahead is recommended. The Jura is busy during July and August and accommodation must be reserved in advance. Outside of these months, some lodgings shut completely, opening only if booked in advance.
