Mijoux/La Faucile

Crozet/Lélex

Settled in a forest, the site opens up towards a spectacular panorama. The trails are particularly recommended for beginning and intermediate skiers and children. Great efforts have been made to improve the lifts with the implementation of the Mont Rond combilift (8 person same-level cabin boarding and 6-person seats). For non-skiers, there are snowshoe itineraries marked on the crests.
An area that is reserved for alert skiers and those who love strong sensations, the site guarantees quality skiing on beautiful snowy descents from December to the end of March, thanks to a network of cultured snow. Monts Jura has undertaken considerable work on this site to improve the comfort of the skiers, guarantee better access to trails and greatly reduce lift waits. The pleasure has been intensified!

Menthières

Freestyle

Located just 15 km from Bellegarde sur Valserine, on a lovely, hilly plateau, bordered by spruce forests, Menthières is an ideal family-oriented area for beginners and for initiation to Alpine skiing thanks to the altitude changes that are accessible to everyone.
To make free riders happy, there is a snow park with 6 jump modules on the Lélex/Crozet site. Don’t miss the contests and activities organized all winter long. To perfect your style, a very original Boarder X is marked. This 60 second course features 150 meters of grade separation and is 400 meters long. The modules and changing bends are shaped with a pipe master. Access to the course is free. Several competitions are organized throughout the winter.
