💡
Did you know?
Nicknamed the 'Roof of the Doubs', the village sits at an average altitude of 1,100 m, on the highest plateau in the department, on the border with the Swiss commune of Sainte-Croix.
The village has remained off the main road network. For over a century, several cross-country road projects (1909, 1922, 1935, 1996, 2005) never came to fruition, which explains its historically close ties with neighbouring Switzerland.

✍️ Our view of Les Fourgs

Les Fourgs is a small, low-key resort, with 6 km of runs offering an intimate skiing experience, far from the bustle of the big resorts. This is where you come for calm, authenticity and no queues at the lifts. Its reputation as a family resort is well earned: dedicated beginner areas, well-groomed green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It is one of the most reassuring resorts in the Jura for children taking their first steps on skis. The modest altitude of Les Fourgs, from 1,100 m at the base to 1,270 m at the top, makes it sensitive to climate variations. January and February remain the safest months for optimal snow cover. Outside that window, checking the snow reports before you leave is strongly recommended. With a day lift pass at just 16€, Les Fourgs is one of the most affordable destinations in France. For families on a tight budget, or skiers who want to make the most of their days without breaking the bank, it is a sincere and often overlooked choice. In short: Les Fourgs does not compete with the giants of skiing, and does not pretend to. It is an honest destination, often underrated, that deserves to be (re)discovered.
