Winter activities Holiday Resort METABIEF
At the three-star Métabief holiday village, you can enjoy winter sports activities or relax with the family in the invigorating fresh air of the Jura!
This is the number one winter sports resort in the Jura mountains. Métabief is a low mountain range ski resort with 40 km of Alpine ski slopes which extend all around the Mont d’Or mountain range. There are 252 km of slopes dedicated to Nordic skiing and snowshoe walking. During the school holidays, free shuttles bring you to the foot of the Alpine slopes every day. A Nordic slope that links up with the ski area goes right past our club-village in the Jura. The Métabief snowpark is the place to be for fans of alternative snow sports. There's no shortage of things to do here, from sledding and ski joering to dog sledding, Comté horse and carriage rides and ice-skating on the Saint-Point lake. Before you arrive, take advantage of our So-Ski service! Book your packages and equipment from home, to save time and money. Kids can make the most of our 3 free kids and teens clubs, where they will enjoy creative, educational and play activities (during the school holidays). The activities team at this 3-star Métabief holiday village is on hand every day to help you relax and enjoy your holiday. After a fitness session in the gym followed by a sauna (optional extra), you’ll be ready to go again for an evening of games, music or dancing... Why does Jura not rhyme with salsa?
