These winter trails were created by the Alpiniski team and inaugurated in 2007. All are different lengths – namely the 3.2 kilometre La Chaulée d'en Bas, the 1.2 kilometre La Chaulée d'en Haut; and the 2.55 kilometre La Chaulée Neuve – and offer unforgettable moments in the snow-covered natural environment of Les Marécottes. The trails are entirely signposted in pink and are situated away from the ski slopes with the exception of certain marked intersections.

In Les Marécottes, children can discover the fun of winter sports in a snow playground dedicated to learning. Located at the cable car station exit, close to the Restaurant de la Creusaz, the snow playground features a magic carpet and a beginners’ slope for children up to five years old. Private lessons with a ski instructor can be booked on request.

Located in a natural outdoor setting, the Salvan ice rink welcomes skaters and hockey players from mid-December to the end of February, depending on weather conditions. The local club HC Salvan is having its games and organizes regularly events. A small bar beneath allows the chance to take a break before returning on the rink… Material rental at low prices is available on site.

For over a century, the Gabioud family have produced cheese at Emaney alpine pasture, nestled at the heart of the mountains in the region of Les Marécottes. Throughout the summer, multi-award-winning Raclette du Valais AOP cheese, butter, tomme cheeses and sérac are made here. Take advantage of the terrace and enjoy some local produce in the company of the cattle, yak, pigs, calves, chickens, cats and dogs, who also spend their summers at the pasture.
