General Information
Since 1979, every third Sunday in February, thousands of people gather on and along the slopes of the Jura Massif to celebrate Nordic skiing. More than 150,000 spectators dolted along the mythical track in 1995.
The track connects two well-known cross-country ski places: LAMOURA in Jura department, and MOUTHE in Doubs department, crossing along the way 10 villages nestling in the heart of the Jura Massif ski resorts.
It is rated the second best long-distance ski race in the World, after the Swedish Vasaloppet race (90 km), an international circuit of long-distance races which brings together 13 countries (Australia, Austria, Germany, Italy, Japan, Estonia, Canada, USA, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, France).
New since 2010: the Ultra Trans. A challenge combining the two styles and their longest distance: 50 km in classic style on Saturday and 76 km in skating style on Sunday. Only one combinaison, the same one for women.
