The Jura Mountains is a 4 seasons destination. Spring, summer, autumn and winter all have a whole lot of surprises up their sleeve for you...

Come and stay here to enjoy the snow-capped peaks of the mountains in winter at the resorts of Métabief, Les Rousses and Monts Jura. Dive into the refreshing lakes or go on a thrilling adventure in the summer in Haut-Bugey or Haut-Doubs. In autumn, come and admire the vast array of autumn colours in the forests of the Terre d'Émeraude, Cœur du Jura and Pays Horloger destinations!

Warm and cosy winter!

A pretty white blanket covers the peaks... when winter arrives in the Jura Mountains, it's time to embrace the pure, silent scenery.

Winter is also about evenings by the fire enjoying delicious cheese-based dishes from the region! What better a way to end a day out skiing or snowshoeing?
