Family-friendly multi-activities in the Jura

MORNING: Marmot Hike

A first walk along the ridges to discover the typical landscapes of the Haut-Jura and observe marmots basking in the sun, or the marmot pups playing under the watchful eye of the sentinels. We will observe them using binoculars.

Elevation gain: 200 m; Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

Picnic

AFTERNOON: Canyoning

A first foray into the Grosdar canyon, an easy and fun aquatic hike in a magnificent setting. An ideal canyon for learning to jump, with a gradual increase in height along the way. Jumps are never mandatory!

(30-minute approach walk and 2-hour descent)

MORNING: Morez Via Ferrata

After your guide's instructions and recommendations, you'll climb a spur, then cross the footbridge. Spectacular and impressive, this is just preparation for the next section: the Nepalese bridge. Fortunately, both sections can be bypassed, but it would be a shame to miss them! Afterward, a series of walls and easier passages, sometimes in the sun, sometimes in the forest, allow you to gain altitude. The final stretch is magnificent, with a view overlooking the entire valley…

Picnic

AFTERNOON: MOUNTAIN BIKING

Wild and unique, we'll cycle through high-altitude valleys with short grass, interspersed with dry stone walls. A downhill route with beautiful singletrack and technical sections, but nothing too challenging!

MORNING: Belvedere and Chamois Hike

Hike starting from the accommodation to observe chamois roaming a cliff and explore the Risoux forest, its undergrowth trails, and its large clearings known as "Sèches". And don't forget the local stories!

Elevation gain: 200 m; Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

Lunch at the hotel

AFTERNOON: Canyoning

The Malvaux Gorge offers a fun and very aquatic adventure. The morning's activities include numerous jumps from 2 to 12 meters, natural water slides as an interlude, siphons, and Matrix-style acrobatics. A final surprise awaits on the way back to keep the fun going!

(2 hours descent and 15 minutes return walk)

MORNING: free

Free morning for rest. (This half-day also serves as a backup in case an activity like canyoning or via ferrata could not take place due to bad weather.)

Many activities are available; you can book them on site, see the section on additional activities.

Lunch at the hotel

AFTERNOON: Hike

Hike along the Mont Tendre ridge to reach a remote, unguarded mountain refuge. Sunset over the Alps and an evening spent around the wood stove telling stories!

Dinner prepared together with your guide (Fondue) then overnight stay in a dormitory.

Elevation gain: 300 m; Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

MORNING: Hike

On the way back, it's a chance to enjoy one last moment on these idyllic paths. To the sound of the bells, we'll certainly talk about the lives of these shepherds, guardians of our landscapes and our culture.

Get your cameras ready!
