Les Rousses, Mountain resort commune in Jura, France.
Les Rousses spans across 138 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in eastern France, reaching elevations between 720 and 1,300 meters above sea level.
The Fort des Rousses, constructed in the 19th century, transformed from a military training facility into a public attraction with extensive underground passages in 1997.
The four connected villages of Les Rousses maintain traditional Jura mountain practices, including cross-country skiing and regional cheese production.
The commune provides centralized booking services for accommodations and maintains a network of ski lifts connecting multiple slopes throughout the winter season.
The underground chambers of Fort des Rousses now serve as temperature-controlled cellars for aging local Comté cheese.
