Food and drink

The mountain restaurants and buvettes in the Jura are popular with both hikers and locals, as most have vehicular access and parking spaces. The term ‘buvette’ derives from ancient French and translates as a small refreshment room or bar where drinks and snacks are sold. Popular throughout the Jura, these small farm buildings, which are occupied for several months of the year, in particular from June to August offer a selection of beverages and meals for the hiker. In recent years, they have become quite fashionable, with some providing an outdoor restaurant serving specialities such as fondue, rösti, croûtes, and local meat and cheese dishes.

Throughout the Jura Crest Trail there are ample buvettes to provide a substantial meal during the day, although, as with most restaurants in Switzerland, these can be expensive. Some sections have a limited number of restaurants and buvettes to choose from, such as Stage 2 between Linn and Hauenstein and Stage 6 between Frinvillier and Chasseral, but the route descriptions list those that are available.
