Grenchen

Grenchen straddles the transition between the Jura foothills and the Swiss Plateau in the canton of Solothurn, a setting that has paired a town at the mountains’ edge with the transport corridors of the central plateau. The Jura rises immediately to the north, while the wider plain links Grenchen with the Biel/Bienne and Solothurn area. Watchmaking has defined the town since the 19th century: Eterna was founded here in 1856, and Grenchen remains associated with Swiss precision industry. Trails into the Jura provide a quick shift from urban streets to wooded slopes.
