Description

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.

Sustainable Tourism

To respect agricultural practices, natural areas, and wildlife, please keep your dogs on a leash and pick up after them. Keep and sort your trash, stay on the trails, and close gates behind you.

If you encounter an animal, stop and let it pass.

Do not stray from the trail to avoid disturbing wildlife.

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

Use designated areas (not the ski runs) and observe opening hours (to prevent nighttime damage).

Make sure you aren’t caught by nightfall.

Stay on marked trails for your safety.

Check the trail’s opening hours and accessibility.

Wear winter-appropriate gear and warm clothing.

Choose a trail and difficulty level that match your ability.

Check the weather forecast—conditions change quickly in the mountains.
