Hikes and mountain experiences
Hiking in the wild Jura
Escape for 1 or 2 days in the Jura with a certified mountain leader
Join us on the Jura trails. Belvederes, preserved forests, meadows and wooden pastures are waiting for you with the typical rich fauna and flora of the Jura
The Jura offers magical hiking opportunities through unspoilt valleys, peaks and ridges which we will enjoy to the full.
The natural environment in which we will evolve, and the signs of wildlife, will be given a great deal of attention. The forests, pastures and meadows of the Jura are rich in biodiversity with a fauna and flora that will offer itself to the attentive hiker. We may be lucky enough to see signs of lynx or wolf, predators of deer, chamois and roe deer also present in large numbers. The Capercaillie finds a precarious refuge in certain discreet places, not to mention the woodpeckers, owls and other ermines, squirrels and brown hares.
Hike details and programme
The hike will be prepared according to your choices and desires, physical condition, place of departure, choice of accommodation or - if on 2 days - the gîte or hotel. A bivouac or a night under tent are also possible, as well as the tasting of local specialities. Most of the time we will make a loop and will be able to tackle various themes that we will define together (fauna, flora, geology, culture and history, etc.)
