Embark on an unforgettable journey as we explore the breath-taking beauty of the Swiss Jura. Join us for a day filled with awe-inspiring landscapes, camaraderie, and the invigorating challenge of hiking to Creux du Van!

Creux du Van, often referred to as the "Swiss Grand Canyon," is a majestic natural amphitheater nestled within the Jura Mountains. This excursion promises an exciting blend of adventure and cultural exchange as we delve into the heart of Switzerland's stunning scenery.
 
 
 
SBB still has to confirm the train connections.

Gear:
Trekking shoes with good grip are an absolute minimum! There is a risk of slipping on the trail which can result in serious injury. Should you slip near the crest, it is a 160m fall straight down, so if you do not wear appropriate clothes, we will send you home.

Take at least a bottle of water with you, as well as some sandwiches. We plan to stop at a chalet to eat - seats will not be reserved.

The price includes the train rides and a drink at the chalet.

 

Max. Participants25 -> Registration is necessary.

The price includes the train rides and a drink at the chalet.

We get very cheap tickets as ESN is registered as a "school". However, these tickets are usually only valid for people below the age of 25 (specifically, 24.99 years old or younger). If you are 25 years old or older, pay 15 CHF less to register and contact the organisers directly. Worst case, you'd have to organise the ticket yourself.

Those who have an ESNcard and a GA, can not pay the 1CHF online – please bring a coin with you on the day of the trip.
