Site Nordique de la Pesse - Hautes Combes

Welcome to the Hautes-Combes du Jura. Right in the heart of the Haut-Jura Regional Nature Park, this Nordic ski area will delight lovers of the great outdoors, protected and far from the hustle and bustle of the big cities. One of the special features of the Hautes-Combes is the way the villages in the area are connected: cross-country skiing or snowshoeing between the villages is child's play thanks to the extensive network of groomed runs. The charm of the Hautes-Combes will amaze you when you come across its tall, majestic spruce trees, crossing the dolines in the deep valleys that will turn your head in the direction of the unmissable Monts Jura.
The village of La Pesse, right in the heart of the Jura Mountains, will satisfy your desire for wide-open spaces and unspoilt nature.
