The description of this circuit is quite simple: just follow the snowshoe markings carefully, put in place by the welcoming resort of Les Déserts d'Entremont.
Nevertheless, here are a few landmarks.
Park in the large car park at the cross-country ski centre, where there is also a stopover lodge.
(S) Head towards the wooden archway that marks the start of the snowshoe trails.
Then head towards the wooden footbridge. Immediately after, the markings begin with two circuits. The one we are interested in starts on the right. The trail heads east into the meadow, then climbs along the edge of the woods until it meets theGR®9
(1) Follow theGR®9north-east across a meadow with a barn to reach the edge of a wood.
Upon entering the woods, leave theGR® and turn left (north-west) onto a path.
The path soon climbs steeply, then descends slightly before climbing steeply again to reach a flat area.
(2) The route will veer to the right (do not go as far as the cross-country ski trail), descend, and cross a few open areas before arriving at a beautiful clearing. Walk along the edge of the clearing.
(3) Take the path that descends for a long way to Grand Carroz. It is a steep path.
Head south down into the village via the road towards the hamlets of Les Girouds and Les Bruns.
(4) At a bend after a wash house, climb up to the mountain pasture. The route will overlook the road, which is also part ofthe GRP® de Chartreuse.
Cross a small damp wood, then return to the mountain pasture, pass behind an isolated barn, enter the wood and rejoin theGRP®, which is no longer on the road.
(5) Follow the path along the hillside through the woods.
After a final climb, rejoin the route taken on the way up and return to the car park:A::.
