Haute-Joux Nordic Meadows at Les Fourgs

The Haute-Joux Nordic Domain

This view captures the Domaine de la Haute-Joux, one of the great cross-country skiing and snowshoeing playgrounds of the French Jura. Its varied curves unfold toward the plateau de Nozeroy beneath the watchful Haute-Joux forest.

A Working Jura Landscape

An open upland pasture sweeps across the frame, edged by dense spruce and pine forest. A traditional chalet with a steep tiled roof marks the foreground, a hallmark of the high Doubs countryside near the Swiss border.

Les Fourgs & the High Border Country

Perched at the edge of Les Fourgs, one of the highest villages in mainland France, the scene looks out over a landscape of combes and crests — the mysterious Combe Noire, the playful Combe Simon, and the ridges of the Toboggans.
