The first village in the Jura department when you arrive from the Doubs, Foncine-le-Haut is the epitome of a small village in the mountains. Here you'll find all the services you'd expect on a mountain holiday: accommodation, restaurants, local shops, etc. Foncine has nothing to envy the big Alpine resorts.
Whether you're looking for fun family activities or wide open spaces to explore, there's something for everyone in this small village in the Jura mountains. There's no shortage of activities, from cross-country skiing and snowshoeing to sledging and even downhill skiing - there's never a dull moment in Foncine!
In Foncine, you can ski on either side of the village: on the Forêt du Mont Noir side, where the pistes start at Valentin's, you can reach other legendary villages in the Jura Mountains: Chapelle des Bois, Pré Poncet on one side and Bellefontaine on the other. Opposite is Bayard, on the Forêt de la Haute Joux side, with slightly easier runs and a different view of Foncine.
