Snowshoeing and wellness in the Haut Jura

Starting from the Frasse car park, the walk takes you through the Massacre forest, exploring its historical anecdotes, before reaching the Combe à la Chèvre. A charming route with lovely views of the Jura Mountains. If this day had to be defined by a theme, it would be built heritage: magnificent farmhouses and surprising fortified granaries dot the landscape!

Return via the resort's ski buses.

Starting from La Cure, on the Swiss side, we'll ascend the Combe aux Tassons to Noirmont (1533 m). This charming little summit offers views of Mont Blanc and overlooks the Creux du Croue, a vast depression over a kilometer long shaped like a Roman amphitheater. Its geological origin is uncertain, but its symmetry is striking. Then it will be time to descend back to La Cure, a small border hamlet, and return to our accommodation.

We set off from the hotel on snowshoes. First, we skirt the summit of La Dôle to reach more rugged terrain. We arrive at the foot of the south face of La Dôle, a haven for chamois. Then, a gradual ascent through beautiful little valleys leads to the summit. Unforgettable views of the Alps and the Chablais region await. The descent follows the ridges and then winds through spruce forests.

Departure from Bois d'Amont. On the agenda: a hike in the majestic Risoux forest. Its centuries-old trees, its vast clearings, its stone walls marking the boundary. We reach Roche Bernard, a viewpoint overlooking the Chapelle des Bois plateau with its lakes and peat bogs – a true northern atmosphere!

Departing from the hotel on snowshoes, we head towards the Col de la Givrine (Switzerland). The hike continues through the typical landscapes of the Haut-Jura, characterized by large clearings scattered throughout the forest, known as Prés-bois. The story behind these clearings is simple: it's about the division of land between those who harvest the forest and those who raise cows to make cheese. From the cheese dairies of Nyon, there's a beautiful view of the lake below and the Alps opposite. The trip concludes at the accommodation around 4 pm.
