In 2022, tracea.ch offers a varied programme of mountain bike rides tailored to your ability and preferences. We’ll share more than just a mountain bike ride and explore the Jura mountains via their singletrack trails: on your own, with family or friends, for a few hours or a full day’s outing, on the canton’s wildest and least-travelled trails… Mark your calendars!
Beginners’ Bicycle Repair Workshop
Saturday 4 June – 2.00 pm
Are you unsure how to extend the life of your bike, or do you simply find yourself stressed about going out on rides in case of a breakdown, a puncture, etc.?
Gain more independence so you can head out stress-free and look after your bike as well as possible!
To this end, we offer half-day bike mechanics workshops throughout the season, led by our experienced bike mechanic (basic tools and maintenance products included).
You’ll get to know your bike better, master the basics of bike maintenance and be able to look after it yourself for all your future rides, whilst also receiving advice on how to extend the life of your parts.
Each participant brings their own bike and will be able to receive specific advice tailored to their bike.
Enduro Shuttle Day

An enduro ride across the Jura Mountains. The «Shuttle» package lets you explore the region via challenging, characteristic trails.
This excursion is a day trip, allowing you to cover a descent of between 2,000 and 3,000 metres, depending on your preferences and fitness level!
Whether it’s fallen leaves, scree, roots or wide tracks, the region is brimming with varied and enjoyable singletrack trails. Let me guide you through the Vaudois Jura!
The journeys up the mountain are very comfortable in our tracea.ch van.
The price includes use of the van and transport of the bikes.
Lunch: Restaurant or a light bite (to be discussed together)
«Hike and Raclette» Day»
Date to be agreed – 10.00 am
The ride begins with a few exercises designed to introduce you to the basics of electric mountain biking.
After this discovery, we’ll set off to explore the region on a short walk of a few kilometres. If the weather is on our side, you’ll be treated to a superb view of Lake Geneva, the Alps and the majestic Mont Blanc!
We’ll be having our lunch break around the raclette oven, which a cyclist has carried on his bike!
This session is open to anyone who would like to enjoy a pleasant time with friends or family.
