Ski hire Mijoux

Mijoux, a picturesque village in the French Jura, is nestled in the Haut-Jura Regional Nature Park and offers a charming alternative to the large ski centres in the Alps. As part of the Monts Jura ski region, Mijoux delights visitors with its perfect blend of alpine tranquillity, sporting diversity and cultural richness. The Mijoux–La Faucille ski area is particularly suitable for families and beginners: gentle slopes, modern lifts and an impressive panorama stretching as far as Mont Blanc make skiing here a real pleasure. Those looking for more of a challenge will find it in the neighbouring areas of Crozet-Lélex and the Nordic centre of La Vattay, which boasts over 50 kilometres of cross-country trails through snow-covered forests. In addition to classic winter sports, Mijoux offers numerous activities such as snowshoeing, tobogganing, rail luge and even dog sledding. The region is known for its reliable snow conditions, and its proximity to Geneva also makes it attractive to international guests. Culturally, Mijoux surprises with the Church of St. Christopher, the historic Charles Bridge and the fresco tour, which transforms the village into an open-air museum. A walk along the Path of Arts and Flora or a visit to the Stone and Jewellery Museum round off the experience. Mijoux spoils visitors with hearty specialities such as tartiflette, raclette and the famous saucisse de Morteau. The cosy restaurants and mountain huts serve dishes made with regional products – mountain cheese, honey and Vin du Jura are just as much a part of the menu as the traditional herbal liqueur Genepi. For families, Mijoux offers rail luge, zipline and indoor activities in the surrounding area. The peaceful atmosphere and natural setting also make the place attractive for couples and solo travellers. Getting there is easy: Mijoux is only about 45 minutes from Geneva and is easily accessible by car or public transport. Accommodation ranges from chalets and holiday apartments to hotels with alpine charm and mountain huts. Many hosts offer ski pass packages, shuttles to the lifts and regional breakfast options. Mijoux is a place that uniquely combines winter sports, nature, culture and enjoyment. Those looking for something special will find a winter holiday full of tranquillity, diversity and alpine warmth here – a real insider tip in the French Jura.
