Site Nordique de Pontarlier - le larmont
Pontarlier epitomises the notion of a "mountain town". Located in the heart of the Jura Mountains, in the Doubs département, Pontarlier is a small town at an altitude of 900 m (making it one of the highest towns in France). It also boasts a ski area (3 Nordic sites) bordering Switzerland, less than 5 minutes from the town centre. A godsend if you're looking for a change of scenery while still benefiting from the city's services and advantages.
The Nordic areas of Pontarlier have more than 116 km of cross-country ski trails, 37 km of snowshoe trails, 3 play areas and services at the foot of the slopes (restaurants, hire, etc.).
