La Nocturne du Loup
Overview
Intro
The Nocturne du Loup returns this year for an edition which promises to be adrenaline-charged.
The "NOCTURNE DU LOUP"
The Nocturne du Loup was organized for the first time on December 17, 2010 following the arrival of the wolf on the mountain pastures of Aminona during the summer of the same year.
Over the years, the Nocturne du Loup has become a classic and strives to be popular and open to everyone. The committee is proud to be able to organize it and is at your service to improve it year after year.
Ski-mountaineering race bringing together hardened sportsmen and women, an open category, and walkers and their families; at the end, everyone will be reunited at the top of the cable car for a friendly meal where sharing is the key word.
Depart from the Violettes piste towards the National stadium, head up towards the reservoir, right to Marolires towards the Tonossi chalet, uphill towards the Cabane des Bois, then in front of the bottom station, follow the Cabane des Bois piste to the right towards Pépinet, follow the piste towards Violettes, still heading right, and below the CAS hut keep right, and up the last steep slope to the finish line at the Violettes self-service.
