Tucked into the wooded folds of the Jura Mountains in the Bernese Jura, Saicourt is a place whose character is shaped by upland pastures and scattered hamlets. The former Bellelay Abbey, a Premonstratensian foundation established in 1136, lies within the municipality and is closely associated with Tête de Moine, the local cheese traditionally shaved into fine rosettes. Saicourt belongs to the French-speaking part of the canton of Bern, where dairy farms and Jura woodland define the rural setting. Its small settlements, including Le Fuet and Bellelay, reflect a quieter side of the Swiss Jura. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around the Bernese Jura.
