A weekend of escaping into nature. 

Have you ever felt a compelling need for wide open spaces, calming nature and majestic pine trees that look as though they belong to a film set in Montana?

Here’s a 48-hour itinerary that promises a great breath of fresh air and will appeal to your wild side. And all of this in the Jura, the real Jura... 

Arrive the evening before, so you can make the most of the unique ambience of the Franches-Montagnes.

Ein schön eingerichteter Weg lädt zu einem kurzen mühelosen Spaziergang in dieses kleine Paradies ein.

Pick wild plants and discover the many ways in which they can be used.

11 legendary beers are waiting to be sampled at this local brasserie.

An unforgettable night in a Sioux teepee, a Mongolian yurt or a treehouse.

As day breaks, sip on your flask of coffee at Sommêtres after walking 45 minutes up a very steep path.

A sumptuous brunch from an organic farm is served every Sunday at the restaurant “Aux Couleurs du Terroir”.

You can enjoy free horse riding if you stay for two or more nights in the Jura from May to October!
