1er Open International des Montagnes du Jura +50 2027 is a new nine-round international tournament reserved for Senior+ and Veteran players. It runs from February 27 to March 7 at Le Relais Nordique in Giron, creating a residential chess event in the mountain setting of the Haut-Jura.

The event is FIDE rated and uses 100 minutes for 40 moves, then 30 minutes to finish, with a 30-second increment per move. The published prize fund totals €1,500, including €500 for first, €300 for second and €200 for third. Entry is €70.

Le Relais Nordique is both the tournament organizer and the venue, and it provides on-site lodging and restaurant services. Because Giron is a rural mountain village, travelling by car is the most practical option; international visitors can route via Geneva Airport or rail services to the broader Bellegarde / Oyonnax area before continuing by road.
