The pin marks the Mont-Rond bottom station at Col de la Faucille, not Mijoux village or the lift’s mountain station.
Ride Mont-Rond up to Petit Mont Rond, then follow the blue Mainaz signs back to this base. If travelling by bus, confirm the winter shuttle runs on your date; the transport page currently shows earlier-season information.
Arriving by car: Monts Jura car park at Col de la Faucille. Use the Mont-Rond bottom station at the col. The Val Mijoux chairlift starts in a different village. Parking details ↗

Your plan for Mainaz.
Who it suits. Skiers already linking turns on blues who want a lap with the same start and finish. If you are learning to stop and turn, start at Myrtilles rather than taking the summit lift straight away.
- Get to the run
- Start at Col de la Faucille, at the Mont-Rond télécombi: it has both chairs and cabins. Ride to Petit Mont Rond, then follow the blue Mainaz signs. Mainaz takes the outer side of the slope, away from the direct red descents beside the lift.
- Repeat or get back
- Stay on Mainaz to return to the Mont-Rond bottom station at Col de la Faucille. Take the same lift for another lap, or stop at the base. Keep this outing above the col; the blue Liaison Mijoux continues down to a different village.
Worth knowing. Tia-tia, Tiercelet and Stade are red runs from this part of the mountain. Follow Mainaz by name and its blue signs. For first turns, Myrtilles is a separate learning area at the col, with its own drag lift.
