From the waterfalls of Le Hérisson to those of Les Tufs, without forgetting those of Baume-les-Messieurs, Quinquenouille and the gorges de l'Abîme (at the foot of the Cirque de Vaucluse), the landscapes and walks follow one another without ever being alike.
If the Jura is a department of water, it is also famous for its underground world and more particularly for its caves. The caves and chasms meandering through the cliffs are as fascinating as they are impressive. From underground rivers to stalactites and stalagmites, young and old explorers in love with geology or simply curious will love discovering the buried treasures of the Jura. The Saint-Anne cave (in Saint-Claude), the Moidons cave (in Molain) are also to be added to your to-do list.
Water means vegetation, and the Jura can boast more than 250,000 hectares of forest, i.e. more than 50% of its surface. Among the densest and most breathtaking forests, the Forest of the Massacre is not to be missed under any pretext : perched between 1160 and 1495 meters in the heart of the resort of Les Rousses, it is the fetish place for lovers of snowshoeing or skiing in winter, and cyclists in summer. Worshipped by skiers and snowboarders, this family resort with 50 kilometres of slopes is a delight for young and old alike thanks to the wide range of activities it offers : downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, dog sledding, paragliding, snowboarding, hot-air ballooning, tobogganing, golf, biathlon, but also canyoning, horseback riding, climbing, fishing, diving, sailing and cycling : one thing is certain, you won't get bored.
