Step into a pair of skis at the Tourbillon Nordic Centre. The forest circuit, designed for classic and skating cross-country skiing, leads you up the slope to Lui Teise. The trail is somewhat uneven, with several lovely views of Ovronnaz that play hide-and-seek between the trees. The handful of chalets at Lui Teise bask in the sun and look out toward the start of the chairlift and toward the Petit Muveran. Please note that this stretch of the itinerary is also intended for use by pedestrians. The trail then plunges into the forest, reaching the picnic sites at Plan Passé and then continuing towards Chou. One can glimpse the village through the trees, and the view then opens up onto the hamlet of Chou, nestled at the foot of the Seya. The return journey follows the same itinerary. Please note that after Lui Teise, the route may be temporarily closed due to the risk of avalanche, so make sure to ask before starting this circuit.
