Description

One of the most beautiful snowshoe hikes in the Abondance valley, a must-do.

Follow the road to the top of La Ville du Nant, where you’ll see some
beautiful chalets, traditional farmhouses and old chapels.
At the end of the road, follow the forest track then continue along the path which leads to Le Saix pass (col du Saix). Return the same way as you came, otherwise continue towards Barbossine and Petit Châtel (from the Col du Saix, follow the marked path from Chatel route n°2.) Return to La Chapelle on the shuttle.
