Description
From Saignelégier Leisure Centre and after a small hill, this snowshoe expedition path quickly weaves its way through the distinctive and magical scenery of the Franches-Montagnes region. In this area, it's the pine trees that reign supreme.
After just over two kilometres, the Etang des Royes lake comes into sight and provides an opportunity to stop for a breath. This area invites you to escape and pause for a moment to take in the scenery. Even when it is covered in snow, this natural site is filled with serenity. It is reminiscent of the far North and is surrounded by peatland.
The next stage of the course is clearer and more sunlit. Pastures and a few isolated farms emerge along the track. At the end of the course, you have to go through a small forest and then you'll see the steam rising from the outdoor spa at the Leisure Centre...quite the invitation!
An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
