The Grande Traversée du Jura on snowshoes: a specific route, adapted to this means of transport! Sneak between 2 spruces to emerge in a clearing, a vast valley that extends into the distance with the view of the Monts Jura. Reliefs that soften with the snow.
In winter there is no path, sometimes a trace. The route is marked with discreet ribbons that will guide you from village to village.
Les RoussesAlong a beautiful and wide valley typical of the high Jura, with panoramic views of Noirmont and Lac des Rousses. Ascent to the source of the Orbe River, following its meanders, crossing a peat bog blanketed in snow. Overnight stay in Les Rousses or Prémanon. Elevation gain: +137 m; -116 m. Length: 10 km. Time: 4 hours 30 minutes. Day 04: Les Rousses– Lajoux.
Short transfer to the start of the hike (10 mins). Beautiful route in the Massacre forest to reach Combe à La Chèvre and Lajoux. A story of knights, mutated spruce, the wildness of a remote valley in the Haut Jura. Night in Lajoux.
Elevation gain: + 259 m; - 224 m Length: 12 km Time: 5 h 30 Day 05: Lajoux – Bellecombe.
Through the superb landscapes of the Hautes Combes. The heart of the Jura massif beats here, a reminder of the lapidary, the harmony of the undulating relief and incredible perspectives! Night in Bellecombe.
Elevation gain: + 232 m; - 170 m Length: 10 km Time: 5 h 00 Day 06: Bellecombe – La Pesse.
Through the valleys and up to the Crêts du Berbois which offer a view of the Jura Mountains. Arrival in La Pesse, an alternative town with an inventive population, a laboratory for sustainable development!
Return shuttle at 15:30 p.m. to Chapelle des Bois (arrival 17 p.m.) or to Morez station at 16:45 p.m. for people leaving by train and end of stay.
Elevation gain: + 163 m; - 233 m Length: 8 km Time: 4 h 30 Snow conditions: Winter hikes are evolving. There are times when some stages of this route are done on foot with snowshoes on your bag! The stay is primarily a hiking trip and if there is a lack of snow, we do not cancel reservations. The winter atmosphere and light will be there even if you can't put on snowshoes. The GTJ winter route sometimes crosses wetlands that are not passable without snow. We will show you the route to follow to avoid them in the road book; it is often a small road. The mountain is very different in winter. The colors are not the same as summer and the sun is lower on the horizon, providing sunset lights throughout the day.

Equipment Provided: If you do not have your own equipment, you can rent it from the Mont Noir Sports store located near the first accommodation. It is open from 8:30 a.m. to 18 p.m. and we have negotiated a special rate of €30/person for the 5 days of snowshoeing. For 2 or 3 pairs of snowshoes, it is not necessary to reserve. For groups of 4 or more, it is best to reserve the equipment as soon as you receive confirmation of your stay registration. We will provide you with the store contact details. You will be asked to pay a deposit."
