Jura Vaudois Nature Park

Jura Vaudois Nature Park is a protected reserve known for its unique collection of extraordinary landscapes and conditions. With a network of trails over 500km long, the solitary forests, mystical marshland, jagged limestone rocks, and glades as well as pastureland surrounded by stonewalls makes the nature park especially attractive for pleasure hikers, mountain bikers and snowshoe hikers.

Joux Lake

Lac de Joux is the largest body of water in the Jura mountain range, seated at an altitude of 1,004m. The area is popular with nature lovers with pristine natural sights and the lakeshore villages offer a wide range of restaurants, hotels, and activities during winter and summer.

During summer the water is ideal for swimming and water sports, with temperatures up to 24°C. In the winter, if the conditions are right, the lake completely freezes over to become the largest natural skating rink in Switzerland and Europe.
