A wild popular atmosphere reigns all along the race course, which goes through villages with charming names, such as Chapelle-des-bois, Bellefontaine and Pré-Poncet, all the while passing through a celebrated climb of Bois d’Amont in the direction of the culminating finish of a course at Chalet des Ministers. 

 

The whole region is profoundly in love with Nordic skiing so it is not unusual that many French cross-country ski champions are from here and they are warmly welcomed by their compatriots during the Transjurassienne race.
