Schelten Pass (French: La Scheulte) (el. 1051 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Jura Mountains between the cantons of Jura and Solothurn in Switzerland.[1]
It connects Mervelier and Ramiswil and is the most direct route from Delémont and Balsthal. The pass road has a maximum grade of 12 percent.
Bunkers and fortifications built by the Swiss Army during World War II are still visible on the pass.[2]
Hiking paths lead from the pass to Hohe Winde, Passwang, and Delémont.
