Les Montronds

(S) When you exit the Télécombi arrival terrace, turn right, then descend onto an esplanade under the antenna.

(1) Descend into a hollow, then climb back up to the left, following the markers. This section is hilly. Follow the signs for Grand Montrond. Leave all intersections on the left, then arrive at the Crozat mountain pasture.

(2) From here, you can either descend directly to the resort or climb up to Grand Montrond by turning left and following a steady climb (stay away from the ledges, which may give way underfoot!).

(3) Then return to the previous junction by following the route in reverse.

(2) Continue left, then straight ahead on the track. Take care when crossing the ski lift.

(4) Take the path at the edge of the forest. On this shaded section, cross a footbridge before rejoining the Maréchaude road.

(5) Continue along this road to the centre of the resort, passing in front of the giant zip line (E).

Open from 1 December to 30 March.
