The Monts Jura resort in summer
As a real balcony on the Alps, the Monts Jura resort has an uninterrupted view over Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc in particular. Take a breath of fresh air while paragliding, outdo yourself on a breathtaking Via Ferrata above the Rhône or simply enjoy the view from the gondola lifts which will take you to the highest summits of the Montagnes du Jura.
Crêt de la Neige
Hike to the summits
The Crêt de la Neige, the highest summit of the Jura mountains, is located in the heart of the National Nature Reserve of the Haute Chaîne du Jura. Starting from Lélex, discover the Crêt de la Neige hike. The view from the summit embraces the entire Geneva basin, Lake Geneva and the Alps!
To get there, you have 2 options:
- THE EASY HIKE
By taking the Lélex gondola lift, there is only a small elevation gain. As the Haut-Jura ridges are relatively modest, this walk is accessible to most people.
- THE SPORTY HIKE
For a sportier version, from Lélex, follow the GR9 on the first part of the walk, then the GR Balcon du Léman before taking the ridge line to the Crêt de la Neige!
