Foncine-le-Haut

Foncine-le-Haut has served as a high-Jura pastoral settlement in Franche-Comté since the Middle Ages. The commune lies in the Val de Foncine, where the Saine rises before flowing west to meet the Ain. Forests, mountain pastures and limestone terrain shape this section of the Jura Mountains, not far from the Swiss border. Winter sport is part of the local identity: Foncine-le-Haut belongs to the Haut-Jura Nordic skiing area, while paths through the surrounding countryside are used by walkers and cyclists in warmer seasons. Its compact village setting reflects the working rural character of the uplands. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding Jura to extend your view of Foncine-le-Haut.
