Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
Park in the Col de Porte resort parking lot. The start is signposted just to the right of the Le Cartusia restaurant, under a wooden arch with a clearly visible white snowshoe logo on a purple background. Both loops start from the same point, just behind the hotel's ski lift. Loop 1, or the Chaumes loop, takes 45 minutes, while Loop 2, or the Col de Porte loop, lasts a good hour. The most courageous can combine the two for a single long loop. The "snowshoe" markings are very present and easy to follow.
The Chaumes loop wends its way through the fir forest, then joins the ski slope with a lovely view of the Chamechaude summit and returns to the start.
The Col de Porte loop climbs slightly higher and turns off to the right of the ski run. It too winds through the forest.
