Nordic Cruising, Les Fourgs, France
Login
I'm a member of the Swiss Randonne Society and our journal just had an article about Brevine calling it the Siberia of Switzerland. There's quite a good traverse you can do using the bus to get in and out. I know the area somewhat, back when I worked in an office that was in Neuchatel so it's local.

Some shots from Les Fourgs, part of the Métabief area, in the French Jura. Not a well known area but nicely setup for nordic skiing. Mostly these shots are on a blue circuit around 8.0km in length and show some of the classic Jura landscape which is ideal for nordic skiing.

Great pics Ise,
The les Fourgs Plateau is our favourite xcountry area, still not a lot of snow as I see classic trails only open on one side. When theres a few snow kiters zooming around and the bise blowing on the plateau takes you breath away.Do you skate or classic.

Thanks for the destination advice, I should have credited you there :D
I think mostly the snow you see is the last fall, there's not much more. I think there'll be another dump mid-week. I may go there tomorrow as well, there's 36km open which is enough for a day or two.
I "classic", albeit not too well :D

that's sneaky, they've updated that in the last hour :) I looked earlier and it wasn't open.
we're below the cloud here but it might be clear there, the webcam at Métabief looks good :
