Description

The Crêt de la Neige, the highest peak in the Jura, invites you to enjoy a snowshoe hike in the heart of spectacular landscapes. Along the way, you will be treated to a succession of panoramic views: Mont Blanc, the Swiss Alps, the Lake Geneva basin, nearby Geneva, Salève, the Écluse gorge and the Hautes-Combes du Jura… a magnificent setting that rewards your efforts.

The route runs through the Haut-Jura Regional Nature Park and partly through the Haute Chaîne du Jura National Nature Reserve: a protected and preserved area to be explored with respect.

Please note – Protected area
Part of the route crosses the Haute Chaîne du Jura National Nature Reserve, which is subject to specific regulations:
The trail crosses a quiet zone, closed from 15 December to 30 June; while you have permission to pass through, you must stay on the marked trail and not leave it.
Dogs are not permitted, even on a lead.
Please respect these rules to preserve the richness of this exceptional environment.

This snowshoe hike uses the Fierney cable car and Bergers combined lift; please ensure that they are open.
