Discover the ski area of Les Rousses
It is on the Swiss border, in the department of Jura, that the winter sports resort of Les Rousses offers you a large ski area for the whole family. This is where the famous Nordic ski champion Jason Lamy Chappuis, gold medal winner at the 2010 Winter Olympics, grew up. The resort is made up of four mountain villages: Prémanon, Bois d'Amont, Les Rousses and Lamoura. Labelled Flocon Vert (for a commitment to sustainable and respectful winter sports practice), the ski area stands out for its wide choice of slopes for all levels and its breathtaking natural landscapes. Your Les Rousses ski hire will enable you to discover the four Franco-Swiss massifs of the domain. The resort has around fifty kilometres of downhill slopes ranging from 1100 to 1700 metres in altitude. Les Rousses has 5 black runs, 14 red runs, 19 blue runs and 17 green runs accessible via 27 ski lifts and 5 chair lifts. In addition to your Les Rousses ski hire, you can also take advantage of the large Nordic ski area of Les Rousses with around 100 kilometres of cross-country ski runs and more than 70 kilometres of pedestrian and snowshoe routes. And for all cross-country skiing enthusiasts, also discover the Nordic area of Grand Bornand, another Haute-Savoie resort, or the cross-country skiing resort of Les Saisies in the Beaufortain. Another great Nordic area is La Clusaz, a reference site for cross-country skiing. Other Nordic experiences await you in the Jura ski resort of Metabief.
Les Rousses, a set of four mountain villages
In addition to Les Rousses ski rental, the resort also has the advantage of grouping together four villages with the typical charm of the Jura massif.

Not far away, the holiday village of Lamoura has preserved its traditional aspect with its small church and chalets sunk under the snow. As for Prémanon and Bois d'Amont, both have become real landmarks for skiers who wish to hurtle down the slopes in a wild and preserved environment.
