We would love to welcome you to our cozy individual chalet in a lovely mountain setting. Situated in the Jura mountains at the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional du Haut Jura about 900 meters above sea level on a large estate of individual chalets in the village of St. Laurent en Grandvaux, this cozy chalet comfortably houses a maximum of 6 adults. It has a warm southern exposure, and enticing views of the lovely pine forests that surround it and two outdoor spaces (balcony and terrace) for outdoor eating and relaxing. You will enjoy a lovely, active, and relaxing mountain stay.
Within walking distance, you can find the local cheese maker (the fruitière) and the JOA Casino where there is dining and dancing and games of chance (slot machines, electronic black jack, electronic roulette, black jack tables and roulette tables). Across the road from the fruitière is a boulangerie for your morning baguettes should you finally leave the comfort of the chalet. In winter there are both cross-country and snowshoeing just 300m from the chalet. Downhill skiing at Les Rousses is just about 20 minutes away. Ski/snowshoe rentals are available at all of these sites.
On the estate itself there is a heated indoor swimming pool (closed from October 1st to April 1st), there is a tennis court, a badminton court, a ‘terrain’ for pétanque and a large field that is perfect for soccer or frisbee. Venturing further afield, there are trails for horseback riding, biking and hiking year round, many magnificent lakes and streams for swimming, boating, paddle boarding and fishing in the summer months.
The fall foliage is famous as Saint-Laurent-en-Grandvaux is often referred to as "le petit Canada". The center of the village of St. Laurent is definitely worth a visit; the people here are very friendly. Be sure to stop by the Tourist Office of the Haut Jura for helpful advice concerning all the activities in the area and events like concerts and markets that might be happening during your stay.
Closeby, there are wonderful places to visit like the Abbaye de Grandvaux built alongside the lac de l’abbaye with a trail to hike around it.
