Hiking the trails of the Jura in 2026

Criss-crossed by numerous GR trails (long-distance hiking routes), the Jura is made for multi-day hiking! Like the great trekking routes, the Échappée Jurassienne crosses the mountains from north to south, taking in the most beautiful natural spots and the most important heritage sites.

The Jura in winter 2027: a taste of the Far North

As soon as the snow settles, one long, continuous trail links the villages of the Jura: the Nordic skiing area is a true paradise for combining cross-country skiing with exploration of this enchanting mountain region. With snowshoes or Nordic skis on your feet, the vast wilderness awaits! From one valley to the next, between snow-laden spruce trees, enjoy making your own tracks and gradually climbing towards the peaks of the Haut-Jura, crossing back and forth over the border with #[Switzerland](/switzerland “Destination: Switzerland”). When evening comes, all that remains is to step inside a mountain refuge or a welcoming inn and sit down to a Comté cheese fondue or an oven-baked Mont d’Or… delicious!
