The white winter setting comes with a decidedly Nordic atmosphere. The Espace Nordique Jurassien covers a mutitude of ski areas and trails on which cross-country skiing is the star discipline. Enthusiasts will follow the Grande Traversée du Jura trail, and perhaps watch or participate in the Transjurasienne cross-country skiing race. The Nordic spirit is about other activities too, such as snowshoeing, dog-sledding, biathlon and sledging. Here's a quick overview.
In compliance with government guidelines, the Nordic sites of the Jura Mountains are now open.
In order to avoid queueing at the cash desk, you can download the "ENJ Nordic Pass" app and use it to tell us which Nordic site you wish to visit and on what date!
