About Les Breuleux
This is a farming and manufacturing village in the Franches-Montagnes district of the canton of Jura, first recorded in 1429. Farmland covers most of the municipality and forest most of the rest. The homes are scattered around the village and the neighbouring hamlets rather than in one cluster, and they are small: mostly one bedroom, sleeping up to six, none with a garden of its own. Cross-country trails run at around 1,000 to 1,100 metres, and the upper downhill runs sit at only about 1,070 metres. Eating out centres on the Hôtel-Restaurant de la Balance, and evenings are very quiet. In winter the trails fill with cross-country skiers and snowshoe walkers.
Is Les Breuleux right for you?
- Best for
- Cross-country skiers and walkers wanting a quiet plateau village
- Not for you if
- You want Alpine peaks, nightlife or a garden for children to run around in.

Les Breuleux villa holidays: questions answered
Is there skiing in Les Breuleux?
Mostly cross-country. There are around 41 km of classic and skating trails between about 1,000 and 1,100 metres, 2 km of them floodlit, plus three downhill lifts.
Can you reach Les Breuleux by train?
Yes. Les Breuleux and Les Breuleux-Eglise are both stations on the Tavannes to Noirmont railway. Expect several hours and changes on the way from any airport, though, and a car helps for exploring further.
Is Les Breuleux good for a family holiday?
For a small family, it works well. Homes here are compact and garden-free, so larger groups will find them tight, but cheese dairies, horses and easy walks keep children busy.
Les Breuleux or Saignelégier?
Saignelégier is the district seat, and home to the Marché-Concours hall and a cheese dairy. Les Breuleux is smaller and quieter, with its own stations and cross-country trails, and better if you want a village base.
