Snowshoe itinerary : La Chapelle balcony
Description
An ideal route for discovering snowshoeing or for a family outing.
Park in the lot at the base of the Crêt Béni chairlift, then head to the trailhead behind the municipal garages (at the far end of the lot).
Take the path toward Plan des Feux and turn left at the flat section to join the balcony trail.
Continue until you reach a beautiful waterfall that is often frozen in winter.
From there, head back down toward the Pont du Moulin to rejoin the pedestrian trail, which will take you back to your starting point.

Keep your dog on a leash, or better yet, let it rest in the warmth!
