Cross-country ski trail : la Petite Grand

Monts Jura / La Vattay is renowned for the quality and variety of its pistes. They are all groomed in double-track for skiing adapted to all levels of ability. All runs form loops (except the La Vattay/Mijoux link). All runs are one-way.

The trails stretch from the Plateau de la Vattay into the deep forests of the canton of Vaud (Switzerland).

The red trail linking La Vattay and Mijoux takes you down into the Valserine valley along the river.

The Nordic area is easily accessible by car. (parking lots: 500 spaces)

The trails are located within the Haute Chaine du Jura National Nature Reserve. Please respect the regulations specific to this area.

Safety :

Nordic activities do not present any major risks, but they should nevertheless be approached with caution. We strongly advise you to check your physical fitness and adapt your outing to your physical abilities. And don’t forget to tell your family and friends about the outing you’re planning.
As Nordic sites are often very large and sometimes interconnected, it’s a good idea to take along a map of the ski area (available at the trailheads) or on the interactive map.
To improve your technique, as well as for off-piste walks, the best solution is to call on the services of a cross-country ski instructor or mid-mountain guide.

International emergency number 112
Gendarmerie 17
Fire department 18

Ski villages and resorts have their own emergency response plans involving the fire department, gendarmerie and SAMU. The main Nordic ski areas have their own safety services, with appropriate equipment and qualified personnel (Nordic first-aiders).

Please note! Rescue services are not free of charge and may be invoiced by the Nordic ski area.
in the event of an intervention (rescue rates are posted at the start of the slopes).
