A resort for walks and snowshoeing
The landscapes are sumptuous and the areas of the Monts Jura resort offer many footpaths and snowshoeing, accompanied or not. Anyway it is recommended never to leave without a map or a detailed card of the chosen hike.
The Jura Mountains are committed to the code of conduct of hikers by insisting on the respect of marked trails, the non-intrusion in certain areas reported for the welfare of wildlife, the fact of leaving no waste in nature or not not take your dog on a hike.
Walking is free on several sites but paid on those of La Vattay and Menthières.
