Monts Jura
About the area
Monts Jura is a small area: about 21 km of pistes, of which 14 km (66%) are green or blue, so it reads mainly as beginner and easy-intermediate terrain. There are ten short easy runs close to a lift base, which helps first-timers and children build up mileage without long traverses. Experts will run out of options quickly — only 1 km, or 5%, is black, and the biggest vertical on a single run is 475 m.
The slopes run from 865 m to 1,659 m, with 475 m of vertical and a longest run of 1,818 m; the low base means snow cover is worth checking before you go. Ten lifts serve the area: two gondolas, five platters, one chairlift, one rope tow and one mixed lift. The gondolas are useful with small children, since there is no chairlift loading involved.
