When snow falls on the Vaud Jura, the playground doesn\u2019t disappear \u2013 it simply takes on a different form. Based in Saint-Cergue, Tracea is there for you all winter long \u2013 whether it\u2019s cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sledge riding or electric mountain biking on snow \u2013 offering both equipment hire and guided excursions.<\/p>\n
The Givrine plateau, just a few minutes from the village, is home to one of the Jura\u2019s most beautiful cross-country skiing areas. The trails wind their way through pastures and spruce forests, with routes to suit all levels \u2014 from family-friendly loops to endurance trails.<\/p>\n
Is this your first time wearing them? Our cross-country skiing lessons<\/a> They teach both classic and skating styles, in one-to-one sessions or small groups. Skis, poles and boots can be hired on site.<\/p>\n Snowshoes let you go where the trails end. We hire TSL snowshoes in all sizes<\/a>, adults and children alike, with their walking sticks. On a clear day, the ridges above Saint-Cergue offer unobstructed views of Lake Geneva and the Alps.<\/p>\n For families, the sledge hire<\/a> It\u2019s still the simplest of winter pleasures. Children\u2019s and adults\u2019 models, available to collect in-store, for a day or a weekend.<\/p>\n This is our most unexpected offering. Electric mountain bikes fitted for snow, a small-group ride with a guide, and a gourmet break in a chalet. The electric assistance takes the strain out of it: the activity remains accessible even if you don\u2019t cycle regularly.<\/p>\n The winter season generally runs from December to March, depending on snow cover \u2014 Saint-Cergue is just over 1,000 metres above sea level and La Givrine is around 1,200 metres, which ensures more consistent conditions than in the lowlands. We\u2019ll be happy to provide you with information on snow conditions before your visit.<\/p>\n The village is served by the NStCM train (the Nyon\u2013Saint-Cergue\u2013Morez line) and can be reached by car from Nyon in about twenty minutes. Our shop is located at 11 Route d\u2019Arzier, just a short walk from the station.<\/p>\n Equipment hire can be booked online or in-store.
