Things to do in the Jura by season and weather

In spring, farmers' markets, car boot sales and walks return across the department. In summer, festivals, village fêtes, lake swimming and open-air concerts bring local communities to life. Autumn is the season for apple festivals, grape harvests and woodland walks, before winter brings Christmas markets, snowshoeing in the Haut-Jura and the Percée du Vin Jaune. When it rains, think exhibitions, museums, multimedia libraries, cinemas, shows and indoor workshops: our selection things to do in the Jura when it rains brings them together.

Holidays in the Jura: things to do with family or friends

On holiday in the Jura, the events calendar helps you complement the classic sights (lakes, waterfalls, viewpoints) with local life as it happens: a village fête, concert, market or guided tour. For a family outing, the category leisure and families brings together child-friendly activities. In the Haut-Jura, around Les Rousses, Morez or Saint-Claude, also check the pages for communes and cantons to find things to do near your accommodation.
