A Cyclocross Journey To The Chasseral
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
The Chasseral is a mountain of the Swiss Jura towering high above Lake Biel in the Swiss canton of Bern. With an elevation of 1607 meters, the Chasseral is the highest summit in the canton of Bern outside the Alps and the eastern most summit above 1600 meters in the Jura Mountains. It also happens to be the peak that lends its name to DT's RR1450 road wheelset. With a little over 15 kilometers on a beeline it sits nicely in my cycling backyard and thus is a frequent destination whether moving on 29 inch or 700C wheels, knobby or skinny tires. It's time for a little tribute to this gentle elephant of a hill who welcomes me year-round.

Would love to mate, thanks! We'll probably be based in Bern at first so that we can take our marks easily coming from Melbourne; but Biel & Solothurn are a train ride away! Cheers, Olivier

Get it touch once you've settled. Less than 30km between Biel and Solothurn. Great riding near Solothurn as well, though quite a bit steeper than the Jura around Biel.

Thanks, that would be great! I found you photos on FlickR too, they got me really impatient to come in the area and give a go to all those tracks! Thanks again, Cheers, Olivier

Olivier, unfortunately Youtube doesn't allow links in comments. Google "a video tribute to the chasseral" (with quotes). I'll leave a link to the KML file in the comments of my blog.

Hi there! Thanks for the video, the place looks great! Would you have a gps file or map of this ride by any chance? My wife just got a new job with a company based in Zuchwil and we will be relocating from Australia to Solothurn over the next couple of weeks. I’m a keen rider, trail runner and mountain biker; and really looking forward to discover the area! Cheers, Olivier
