Jura Mountain Bike Zed

The Zed Jurassien is a 124 km long, fully signposted mountain bike route. It starts in Saint-Laurent-en-Grandvaux (approx. 1,000 m above sea level) and ends in either Arc et Senans or Mouchard.
In the Haut-Jura, the route follows small paths and singles to Foncine-le-Haut before continuing into the Haute Vallée de la Saine, a listed tourist site. After passing through the Langouette gorges and the Ain losses, two major sites of the "Jura Monts Rivières" territory, the Zed crosses Champagnole, gateway to the Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park. The route then reaches Poligny, the capital of the Comté, via the state forests of Montrond and Molain.
From Poligny, the Zed reaches Arbois, the capital of Jura wines in the heart of the vineyards, crossing the remote areas of Poligny and Arbois with their impressive viewpoints. The route then plunges towards Salins-les-Bains, one of the two thermal towns in the department, which is also home to the Grande Saline de Salins, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Zed ends gently on the Chemin des Gabelous and then in the Loue valley, from where the route leaves two options for the end of the route: Mouchard or Arc-et-Senans, known for its Royal Saltworks, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Arc-et-Senans and Mouchard both have a station from which the starting town of Saint-Laurent-en-Grandvaux can be reached by the Hirondelles tourist train line.
