The layout
The two stages start on the heights of the thousand-year-old medieval city of Neuchâtel, and the trails will plunge you straight into authentic Switzerland between lakes and mountains. With altitudes ranging from 450m to 1350m between the Jura 3 Lacs region and the crests of the Swiss Jura massif, this event offers a remarkable variety of trails!
The Swiss stages of the Aurora Gravel Rally Series are the Aurora Crew's playground. Through this event, we want to share with you our Switzerland, a country of contrasts, with high-tech industry and peaceful, authentic rural regions.
