Sainte-Croix is also famous for its tradition of music boxes and automata. A private transfer gets you there directly, without changing trains in Yverdon and taking the regional line up.
Chauffeur's tipJura weather changes quickly: in snowy conditions the climb from Yverdon can be slow, so plan extra time before a return flight in winter.
