The snowshoe trails start at the top of the Croix-de-Culet cable car (look for the pink flag indicating the start).

Exit the cable car building and head straight ahead downhill towards Les Crosets. Then, turn left and cross the ski slope (be cautious of skiers) following the marked trail.

At the Refuge du Chaudron restaurant, pass behind the building and cross the ski slope — watch for skiers! Continue down in the direction of Léchereuse. The viewpoint looks out over the Pointe de Ripaille and the legendary Swiss Wall! Continue down to the Le Toupin restaurant, then follow the signs to the bottom of the Léchereuse drag lift. From here, follow the Seumont River to the Chalet du Pont.

Now on a wider path, pass under the Grand Paradis chairlift and take the Route des Parses to the crossroads with the Route de Sur Cou. From there, take off your snowshoes and follow the Chemin des Rochaz (on your right) back to the village.

This itinerary can be done in the reverse direction for a more strenuous challenge!
