Jura Holidays

Ideal for an exciting activity holiday in Switzerland, or just to relax
Holidays to Jura are becoming increasingly popular as family holidays in Switzerland, and holidays for individuals and couples who wish to enjoy everything an Alpine holiday destination has to offer, but without necessarily making their holiday a skiing holiday in Switzerland. A beautifully scenic canton (self-governing state) located in the north-western part of the country, Jura is divided into three districts: Delemont, Porrentruy and Franches-Montagnes. Delemont is usually the district tourists head for. It is also Jura’s capital city, with a friendly population that is almost entirely French-speaking. One of the most convenient airports for Jura is Basel, with car rental being available from there.

Lakes and mountains, affordable accommodation, golf, canoeing, the lot!
Jura holidays provide the ideal opportunity to relax, refresh and recharge your batteries. What’s more, a Jura holiday is something anyone can enjoy as there is a range of accommodation options there to suit all tastes and budgets. Eating out during your Jura holiday means choosing from a selection of restaurants serving traditional, gourmet, Italian and even Asian cuisine. For those who wish to get ‘holiday-active’ during their Jura holiday, hiking, mountain biking, canoeing and snowshoeing are all on offer. And if a golf holiday appeals, Jura has 18-hole courses lovingly designed and situated amid some of the most stunning lakes and mountains in Switzerland.

If all you want to do during your Jura holiday is relax and switch off for a week or two, then leisurely strolls through some of the most gorgeous untouched scenery in Europe, as well as organised leisure walks to tranquil nature sites, are all available to you.

Jura weather
At the charming canton (self-governing state) of Jura located in Switzerland’s compelling northwest, Delemont is usually the district tourists head for. They flock there for lakes and mountains holidays where a wealth of things to see and do, and a wonderful climate, come as standard. Jura’s climate is one of changing seasons in fact: warm summers, milder spring and autumn seasons, and cold winters. But although the Jura winter season is not as cold as you would think, the highest alpine peaks still see year-round snowfall.
