For a winter holiday in gentle, approachable surroundings, head for the mountains of Jura! You'll love the way of life here and all the Nordic activities. The choice terrain of these mountains puts cross-country skiing at the top of the list, but the Nordic spirit that reigns over this untouched wilderness can also be experienced through other activities like dog-sledding, snowshoeing and Nordic walking. The resort itself has a family atmosphere and facilities that are ideal for beginners.
