Jura heights and watch valleys
Eight days of limestone and quiet: Basel, St-Ursanne, Saignelegier, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Le Locle, Creux du Van, Neuchatel. Tesla in Basel; Ionity on the lake. The Jura Route is a ridge, not a motorway.
Season: Year-round. Creux du Van rim holds ice into April. Watch-town museums close Mondays. Winter fog in the Doubs valley.
