This trail, located in the heart of the traditional village, takes you on a pleasant hike where you can enjoy superb panoramic views of the Mont Blanc and Fiz mountain ranges. The view is unobstructed, and the trail is sunny.
This loop has two starting points: either from the Chalet du Dandry (at the ski resort) or from the Route de la Jorasse (near the Frébouges ski lift). You’ll be close to the ski slopes throughout your hike.
From December 21 to March 31.

Guided snowshoe excursions:
During these excursions, a mountain guide will accompany you and lead you safely through the forests and along the ridges. These fun and easy themed excursions are tailored to the participants’ skill levels. They’ll help you get to know our natural environment better. You can satisfy your curiosity by asking your guide questions. You’ll see just how different the landscape looks from the heights of Cordon. Group or private snowshoe tours are available.
