Ski holidays in Berner Jura

The Berner Jura lies in the Swiss part of the Jura, on the extreme east side of the ridges of the Jura. This region is situated precisely in the middle between Bern and Besancon (France). Although the ski resort area attracts many families, it is primarily a holiday for cross-country skiers and nature-lovers. The villages in this area are very small, with the most well-known being Les Pres d'Orvin.

Slope information Berner Jura - Berner Jura

Les Pres d'Orvin is a paradise for cross-country skiing, with no less than 74 km of cross-country tracks including a ?monsterloipe? (ski trail), the Chasseral (Ski-de-fond.ch), a cross-country trail about 17 km long. The alpine ski slopes are slightly less attractive, but with some ski lifts, you can still enjoy a couple of runs.

Snowboarding Berner Jura

For snowboarders, opportunities are limited in this area. If you are putting your board on for the first time, the local snowboard school course can teach you the tricks, but you will probably need a day trip to another nearby ski resort by the end of the week.

Skischools Berner Jura

There are two ski schools in the skiing area, the Ecole de Ski et Snowboard Des Amis de la Nature (the name focuses on the beautiful surroundings) and the Ecole de Ski et Snowboard Suisse.
