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.]
Pré
de St-Livre
The
farm of the Pré (or alpine meadow) de St-Livres, at 1359m, 16 February 2002.
The farm is at the top of one of the two branches of the Route des Montagnes (the
other leads towards the Alpine Club hut at Cunay). The single-lane paved road
leads on to Correntine and then ends.
The southeast
side on 12 April 2004. The ridge above, to the northwest, drops over to the meadows
of Petit Cunay and the top of the Swiss Jura. The trees just to the right of the
farm encircle the big hole called the Glacière
de St-Livres.
