Hint

Intro

This trail from Mauborget to the parade ground in Les Rochats is a great way to recharge your batteries as you ski across snow-covered pastures reminiscent of the Great North. In this completely unspoilt natural setting, it’s not unusual to come across deer along the way.

Description

For regular skiers, this trail with its ambiance of the Great North creates a unique sensation of well-being. Ideal for an energetic and reinvigorating outing, with the chance to rest and refuel in one of the mountain pasture chalets typical of the region.

In Les Rochats, at the halfway point, skiers pass by an Swiss army parade ground with its famous tank training track, set against a stunning winter landscape and remarkably unspoilt natural environment.

Return though the forest towards «La Combaz» and «La Caravane» to Mauborget, a village famed for its views of the sea of fog and the Alps. All along the route, skiers may chance upon some of the many deer populating this region.

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
