Snowshoes

08/12/2009 - Read 843 times
The Jura Mountains are very suitable for hiking in snowshoes. The 16 paths are a real encouragement to go out and about, alone or with a guide, for half a day, a full day, or for an expedition last several days.

  

 The snowshoes marked trails 

From the snowy villages of the resort and the top of the lifts, snowshoers will find some marked and maintained paths.

It has been created for the natural beauty of the landscape, the security of the walkers and the respect of fragile wildlife that hibernates in the woods and are watched by the Réserve Naturelle de la Haute Chaîne du Jura.

Some spaces are forbiden during the winter, in order to protect the calmness that wildlife needs ; The walkers can use the paths, without going out of it, which offers to them the privilege to enter those preserved spaces. On the summits, except in the forest, walkers can go freely under their own responsability.
