Fermes-Auberges: Métabief's Unique Accommodation Offer
The fermes-auberge tradition is one of the Jura's greatest assets for travelling mountain bikers. These working farm-inns offer rooms and full board (breakfast + dinner) based on the farm's own produce: Comté cheese, Morbier, smoked sausage, Jura charcuterie, and regional wines from the Côtes du Jura appellation.
For riders, the full-board structure is highly practical — arrive tired, be fed well, sleep well, ride again. The food is invariably excellent and the prices are genuinely remarkable: expect €75–95 per person per day including room and two meals.
