Itinerary description
Delemont - Courendlin - Vellerat (666m :-) - Deriere Chateau (viewpoint on a pasture) - Chatillon - Delemont
At 12.9 km (just after the hut) a steep climb without path, 10m on rocks (possible to go further until end of the marked track to avoid rocks and have less steep slope)
To reduce the kilometres on paved road, you can come by bus (11,18) from Delemont to Courrendlin and return from Chatillon to Delemont by bus 16
(check the connection details on sbb.ch )
If the climb is eliminated as described, the trail is doable on MTB with not more than 1km of pushing.
Review you skin against ticks after the hike - I had two!

Time length is very accurate, I took me around 8 hours. Water supply is not a problem, there multiple fountains during the track. Once further in the forest, directions aren't that clear and it's very easy to confuse. I had to take a detour before turning around at the end of the mountain because the trail kept going through a fence private property with animals inside.
