The Jura

The Jura is one of Switzerland’s three geographical regions. Running along the western edge of the country, it covers around 10% of Switzerland's territory and forms a natural border with France. The Chasseral is one of the most instantly recognisable mountain peaks in the Swiss Jura. Some of the country's largest lakes can be found in the Jura foothills. The region is also home to the Rhine Falls.
