Outdoor Activities in the Alps: A Guide to the Best Adventures

Lucas Humbert

Join me for 3 days in the valleys of the Haut Jura. Let's enjoy a superb program full of mountain activities in this  beautiful setting! Snowshoeing to discover in all serenity, cross-country skiing to explore the best hidden spots, dog sledding to enjoy the mountain in the company of dogs, and biathlon to play and imitate our champions.

The Haut Jura mountain range runs along the France - Switzerland border. In this region nature is very well preserved and the atmosphere is serene. The varied program that I propose will allow you to explore the environment with a different rhythm each day.

The goal of this 3-day program is for you to discover the range of nordic activities that are renown in the Jura massif. With the Alps as a background, we will practice cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, dog sledding and biathlon. Four activities in a warm ambiance, looking to have fun.

All the activities will be held in the area of Lajoux or nearby. It is possible to find accommodation at Lajoux or Les Rousses-4 villages.

This is not a demanding program and it is not designed specifically to improve your skills, it is rather planned to make you enjoy the Jura! The Haut Jura is a beautiful environment and you will explore it in the best way if you join me in this trip.

We will end the program with a visit to the Espace des Mondes Polares, at Prémanon. Besides being a mountain leading in the Jura, I am a guide in the Polar regions. You won't have to push me too hard to make me talk about it! I am always eager to share my passion and my experiences. Have a look at the itinerary below to learn more details of this proposal.

Does this varied mountain program sound interesting? Then please request to book this trip and join me in the Haut Jura! There are planned departure dates that you can check below. And <a href="https://www.explore-share.com/trip/snowshoeing-jura-high-valleys/">if you want to focus in one activity alone, why not go for this 4-day snowshoeing trip in the Jura</a>?

Nordic activities in the Jura Mountains: XC skiing, snowshoeing, dog sledding, biathlon

The Haut Jura is an ideal setting for a snowshoeing adventure. I invite you to spend 4 fun days together exploring this serene and beautiful region. We will start at the high valleys and make our way up to the Jura mounts.

Running along the French - Swiss border, the Haut Jura is a mountainous region with very well preserved nature. We will discover this nature during a varied itinerary, enjoying the unique landscapes of the Haut Jura.

Throughout the trip we will experience the striking contrast as we progress. We will start with the ambiance of the high valleys, with soft reliefs and a calm overall feeling. But as we move forward we will feel the difference with the Jura mounts, more aerial and panoramic. If the weather allows, we will enjoy the 360° panorama  which includes the Alps or the last plateaus of the Jura mountains. And we will also get to admire the Leman lake!

This program is ideal for people with an intermediate physical and technical level. There are some more demanding sections, but overall it is a pleasant route.

The first two days at the high valleys, as well as the descent to Lélex, will be rather easy. They will allow you to get familiarized with the equipment and to warm up your skills for progressing in a snowy terrain. On day 3 (if it's the season) we will take the Catheline cablecar which make us gain 500 meters in altitude. Therefore the lift makes the route more accessible. The last day is a bit more demanding, when we will ascend to Lajoux.

We will spend the evenings in comfortable accommodations, either hotels or B&amp;B, with half board meals. If you want to have accommodation arranged to the evening prior to the trip and the one in the end, please let me know (not included in the price). And, except for day 1, we will have all the lunches prepared as picnics.

Tempted to join me for this 4 day snowshoeing trip? Let's  meet in Le Manon and start a beautiful adventure in the white terrain of the Haut Jura. And if you want to combine different disciplines in one trip, <a href="https://www.explore-share.com/trip/nordic-activities-in-the-jura-mountains-xc-skiing-snowshoeing-dog-sledding-biathlon/">you can have have a look at my Nordic activities in the Jura mountains</a>.
