A beautiful snowshoe route on the Crêt-Béni aera with views on the village and the surrounding peaks.
Park in the parking lot at the base of the Crêt-Béni chairlift, then head to the trailhead behind the municipal garages (at the far end of the parking lot).
Take the trail toward Plan des Feux, continue straight ahead on the flat section (do not take the trail on the left), then continue uphill to the Plan des Feux intersection, where you can turn left onto the Chemin des Ravières.
At the end of this trail, turn around (avalanche danger), then follow the return trail in the opposite direction.
