Vassieux-en-Vercors - Le Petit Sagna

Snowshoe trail no. 1

(S/E) From the Prehistory Museum signpost, follow the specific snowshoe trail markers, which head due south along the same route as the GTV towards Espeline.

(1) From the Espeline crossroads, continue in the same direction. The route crosses several junctions and climbs gradually through the forest, emerging at a place known as Baraque Foretière du Lauset. Turn left (south-west) onto the lovely track to reach the Fontaine du Lauset.

(2) From the crossroads, leave the GTV route by taking the first track on the left (east), running alongside the Combe Loubatière. Continue along this wide track until you come to another track on the left.

(3) Take this track and then cross a small copse. After rejoining the GR® 93 (red and white markings), you’ll reach a small hut.

(4) Follow the specific snowshoe markings carefully at this point. The route leaves the^GR® to the left, then winds its way through the undergrowth and clearings, before reaching large snow-covered expanses and then the car park where you started (S/E).

In the event of an accident, call the resort on 04 75 48 24 64 and the emergency services on 112.
Hikers must be self-sufficient and responsible for themselves, as well as for any animals they bring with them. Respect for the natural environment and other users of the ski area is also part of responsible behaviour for hikers.
Snowshoes are not permitted on the ski runs.
Winter weather conditions can be changeable and challenging: check the forecast before setting off, adapt your kit accordingly, take some provisions (water and sugary snacks), carry your mobile phone, let someone know your route before setting off, and avoid ridgelines.
