Trails to suit all tastes
The Family Trail
The Family Trail at the bottom of the resort takes you from the foot of the mountain bike trails to the Métabief Aventures adventure park along a pleasant, shaded path suitable for the whole family, featuring three play areas for children.
From the summit of Morond
The Morond chairlift takes you to the summit of Morond (Alt: 1,420 m) and offers magnificent views of
Mont Blanc
the Alps
the neighbouring peaks of the Jura
the Swiss plain
as well as the nearby villages and lakes.
There are several hiking routes to choose from:
Access to Lake Morond and the Mont d’Or Discovery Centre (approx. 45 minutes – 1 hour)
The ridges of Mont d’Or (via the GR5) to reach the summit of Mont d’Or (approx. 2 hours) and explore the Mont d’Or Sensitive Natural Area. More information on the ENS.
Training routes for trail running can be downloaded from the tourist office website and will soon be signposted in Métabief.
Do come and try them out to train for the Mont d’Or Trail (held every year in mid-June) and to familiarise yourself with the trails of Métabief and the Jura Mountains.

Being eco-friendly
Learn to observe nature and you’ll learn to appreciate and respect it.
The mountains belong to everyone, and nobody wants to walk through a rubbish tip, so do remember to make a few small eco-friendly gestures.
When you’re out walking, you often get peckish, but you’ll usually have a bin bag with you, so do remember to pick up your rubbish and packaging.
You may spot animals during your walks in the forest, so avoid getting too close: respect their privacy.
Remember to watch where you’re walking so as not to trample on the habitats of many plants and insects: stick to marked paths.
