Combe Arbey in Lamoura

Park at the bottom of Chemin du Bruchet in Lamoura.

Signposting: small yellow flags marked with a pair of black snowshoes and yellow stakes

(S/E) Take the path on the left at the top of Chemin du Bruchet. Don’t worry – this path starts on a fairly wide cross-country ski trail. Walk at the side of the trail without damaging the cross-country skiers’ tracks. Continue to the junction with the snowshoe trail.

(1) Leave the cross-country ski trail and turn left onto the off-piste path marked with small yellow flags. Then walk alongside the forest; the cross-country ski trail is on your left, below you.
Continue along the edge of the forest until you reach a right-angled junction.

(2) Take the right-hand branch and you’ll come across a cross-country ski trail a little further on.

(3) Turn slightly to the right and follow this track, taking care not to go onto it. You’ll reach a junction of tracks.

(4) Turn right again, continuing to follow a cross-country ski trail until you reach the original junction.

(1) Follow the route you took on the way there and return to the Chemin du Bruchet car park (S/E).

This walk is available from the Lamoura Tourist Office.

You’ll find plenty of parking in the village of Lamoura.
Please note: if you are doing this walk in winter, you will need to pay for a special snowshoe pass available from the Tourist Office. This pass helps fund the upkeep of the signposting.
You can hire snowshoes in the village.

The surroundings in which you’ll be hiking are magnificent, so take your time and bring a picnic.
If you think you’re lost, look out for the yellow flags tied to tree branches or follow the cross-country ski trail.
