Métabief - Village resort

Métabief: A Gourmet Ski Destination

The Métabief ski resort is a village in the Jura Mountains, officially becoming a ski resort in the 1950s. Before that, the village thrived on livestock farming and dairy production. Even today, Métabief remains a preferred destination to savor Comté, Morbier, Mont d'Or, and other local cheeses after visiting one of the local cheese dairies. The former communal mill of Métabief, now a museum of milling, offers another opportunity to immerse yourself in the heritage of the resort.

The traditional Jura architecture houses numerous shops, bars, and restaurants. Ski rental shops, stores for après-ski shopping, and local convenience stores ensure a comfortable stay. A ride on the Le Coni’Fer train against snowy landscapes, discovering ski joëring, an afternoon at the ice rink, or trying ice climbing can complement your Métabief stay.
