Le Morond from Les Hôpitaux-Neufs

The departure point is at the car park near the town hall in Les Hôpitaux-Neuf.

(S/E) Head towards the tourist train and leave the town hall behind you. At the post office, turn left onto Rue de la Sablière and continue until you reach the path.

(1) Take this path on the right, which runs alongside houses and leads to a track. Continue to the right until you reach a table. The first raspberry bushes appear in this area.

(2) Take the path uphill. Keep right and immediately right again to enter the undergrowth with conifers and wild strawberries. The path emerges from the undergrowth and crosses a deforested area. Go right to rejoin the road.

(3) Keep left and take the next path on the right. Follow the track or the shortcut (the two paths join up later). Caution: from here, the route crosses mountain bike trails. Follow the route and watch out for intersections. Continue to the chairlift and cross the summer toboggan runs.

(4) Turn left, then take the path on the right. Then turn right and climb up to the road. Cross the road to go straight ahead and leave the forest, cutting across a mountain bike trail.

(5) Go straight ahead, then climb the slope on the right. Aim for a building and cross the mountain bike trail again.

(6) Keep left, aiming for the chairlift arrival point. The path curves to the right and comes to a road.

(7) Continue climbing towards Morond, where you can enjoy views of much of the Jura, Lake Geneva and the Alps. There is also a small snack bar where you can stop for a bite to eat.

(8) Return to the starting point by following the same route you took on the way there (S/E).

Caution: this route crosses mountain bike trails on numerous occasions. Do not use these trails and stay on the route, taking care when crossing.
