Those last cold sensations and the thrill of the slopes mingle with your impatience for longer, warmer days. In spring, the Jura Mountains invite you to hike along the Grande Traversée du Jura trail, enjoy a deep breath of fresh air on walks between lakes and waterfalls, or go exploring the beautiful little villages.

Holidays for all

What's your kind of holiday? 

Constantly on the go and keen to push your boundaries with an action-packed schedule every single day? Or, on the contrary, looking forward to taking your time to enjoy the scenery, discover culinary delights and local traditions? Spring is when everyone can take time out, as Nature comes slowly back to life, the snow gradually yields to narcissus-festooned meadows, and the ski slopes yield to mountain bike trails.

So, ready to succumb to the joys of spring in the mountains?
