Nice hike from the car park, only uphill but shaded for the last 200 metres, with the sun shining and a perfect spot for a snack. And a beautiful descent with water points

the sun didn't show up, there was a lot of fog and hard, packed snow. We went up on foot and came down on snowshoes
no difficulties

I agree with what other users have said: this route is easy (I had my doubts given the elevation gain/distance ratio).
The climb was very pleasant, with beautiful views and snow only at the summit on that day.
Thanks for this post

An easy snowshoe hike with the added bonus of plenty of sunshine!
Recommended for families.
It's easier to park in the church car park than at Le Coudray, which only has four spaces.
Enjoy your walks, everyone!

It is possible to continue after the Plan de la Limace to the 1,836 m peak: Passage de Plan Mollard
(45 minutes there and back: easy), where the view is clearer, particularly of Arcalod.
On the way back, you can make a loop by taking the forest track on the right that crosses the Bois du Replat and joins the uphill track 30 minutes before Le Coudray.

Many wide tracks and few paths.
An easy hike, we chose to descend via Precherel, as our car was parked at the church in Jarsy and the car park in Coudray was full!
Very hot!!

Hike on Saturday, 22 January. There was no space at Le Coudray; the small car park seems to be occupied by locals. We set off from Jarsy church and walked along the road for a while before finding snow. We saw more people walking than snowshoeing. The trail is well marked, almost too much so, with hard-packed snow, but at the top the view is magnificent, and the sun was shining.
If it snows a little more, it will be perfect.

A beautiful hike. We went as far as the mountain pastures below the Allant cross. The route was well signposted.
We extended the walk with a loop: climbing up via Le Coudray and descending via Précherel, making a total of 13 km on snowshoes,
in the snow.
To be repeated in summer or autumn.

We started from the Précherel car park because the one in Courtay is really small (not even 10 spaces). What's more, the climb is less steep on this side. We were able to test it out because we came back down via Courtay. It's an easy hike because the path is even and well signposted. The view from the Allan cross is very beautiful. Once at La Limace, I recommend going a little further than the La Limace map to get a better view of the Col de Chérel and the surrounding area.

Route with no technical difficulty
Snowshoe circuit in fresh snow starting from Jarsy church.
Put on your snowshoes at Le Coudray and descend, returning via Precherel from point 2 to complete the loop
Please note: there are only 5 parking spaces at Le Coudray, which are often full, meaning you will have to turn around as there are no other options

Hello,
Right after lockdown, there were quite a few people out and about. After two months of lockdown, we decided to ease back into hiking and didn't attempt Mont de la Coche
It was a good hike, and the sun was shining and it was very warm with beautiful views.
After the Limace map, we climbed up to "la Limace" at an altitude of 1,836 metres.
We descended via the 4x4 trail, which was a bit steep in places.
There were four of us, so we took two cars (lockdown). The car park at Le Coudray is very small.
When we left, there were lots of vehicles parked on the side of the road.

Attempted snowshoe outing, but the slopes were very bare and there was barely 10 to 15 cm of snow at the Chalets d'Allant, so the snowshoes stayed in the bag!
Trying to avoid going back the same way, I made a loop by climbing up the Précherel slope (turn left above Le Coudray at around 1,050 m to join the forest road at Le Replat) and descending via Le Chargieu.
Having set off too late, I didn't push on to the Plan de la Limace but stayed at the Croix d'Allant to get back before dark.
When there is enough snow, this is an easy classic snowshoe hike.
A beautiful day with sunshine on all the surrounding peaks of the Bauges.

A very beautiful hike today, mostly on snowshoes, under a beautiful sun. Magnificent!
The Bauges are difficult to navigate geographically (at least for me). This hike allows you to locate the various peaks of the Bauges in relation to each other: Arclusaz, Pecloz, Mont de la Coche, Arcalod (which gradually comes into view as you climb), and a unique view of the Dent de Pleuven and Trélod.
Really, a very beautiful outing with no technical difficulty. (I stopped at the foot of the last climb.)

Note: the car park is quite small. There is a larger car park in Précherel, which is a little higher up (989 m). This saves you a 71 m climb
