Winter hike on the Pass of Mollendruz
Vallée de Joux Tourisme

Col du Mollendruz

Located at 1,180 metres above sea level, the Col du Mollendruz is one of the key centres for Nordic activities in the Vaud Jura.

Nestled at an altitude of 1,180 metres, the Col du Mollendruz is one of the emblematic mountain passes of the Vaud Jura and a privileged gateway to vast snow-covered landscapes. In winter, the pass becomes a true centre for Nordic activities, appreciated by both leisure visitors and experienced athletes.

The site offers an extensive network of cross-country ski trails, alternating between open areas and forest sections, ideal for discovering the region using either the classic or skating technique. For those seeking a more contemplative experience, several snowshoe routes and winter walking paths allow exploration of the surrounding ridges and clearings in a calm and unspoilt setting.

On site, Nordic Sport provides equipment rental suitable for all levels, making access to these activities easy and convenient. After the effort, the Chalet du Mollendruz welcomes visitors and hikers in a warm atmosphere, perfect for dining, warming up or simply enjoying a convivial moment.
