Les Rousses

Tucked into the Jura Mountains beside the Swiss border, Les Rousses is a place whose character is shaped by long winters, conifer forests and the high plateau around Lac des Rousses. Part of the Haut-Jura, the town is a major centre for Nordic skiing, with trails linking its wooded terrain to the wider cross-border Jura. Alpine skiing also forms part of the local winter season, while summer brings walkers and cyclists to the lake and surrounding forests. Its most distinctive heritage site is Fort des Rousses, a former military fortress now used for maturing wheels of Comté cheese in its vaulted cellars.
