Farms of the Jura in winter The Jura mountains run in a southwest-northeast direction along the border between France and Switzerland, from Geneva (Genève) to Basel (Bâle), holding at about 1300-1400 meters altitude (4350-4500 feet), and peaking in the range of 1650 meters (5450 feet). These photos of high alpage farms in winter are mainly from the southwestern end of that range, between the cities of Geneva and Vallorbe.

A very pretty tree, with the farm on the far side of it. Still no snowshoes needed. In February!

A little touch of Appalachia, right here in Switzerland. No 1950s automobiles up on cinderblocks, though.
