Snowshoe Trail: Le Bécrêt
Description
Discover the hamlets of Bécrêt and Malpasset and the ice that plays with the waters of Ugine.
Walk along the left side of the ski lift ticket booths, cross the arrival run, and take the path that leads between two rows of trees.
This will bring you to the hamlet of Bécrêt, which you’ll cross on a trail that has leveled out.
Cross the Bécrêt ski lift.
Caution: Skiers have the right of way!
Turn left onto the trail that descends to the valley floor.
Follow this trail down to the left along the road until you reach a footbridge over the Ugine River.
Cross it and take the trail that descends along the river.
Pass all the turnoffs on the right to reach the road at La Palud.
Return to the starting point by following the road for a few hundred meters.
