Turn-by-turn directions
The itinerary starts just beyond the departure of the chairlift at the cantonal sports centre and climbs through the forest up to the Odonne meadows. The panorama gradually appears as you climb. The elevation rises gradually, with alternate flat and steeper stretches, until you reach the mountain pasture of Bougnonne and then Jorasse.
Use caution, as skiers occasionally ski along sections of the itinerary. The route also cuts across several avalanche chutes. It can take a few hours or several days to secure this trail and grooming is not always guaranteed. As a result, it may be closed due to the risk of avalanche. It is crucial to obtain information from the ski lift operators before heading out on this trail.
