On foot
Our formula offers an unguided hike in the heart of nature on a well-marked trail where the terrain sometimes requires a good deal of experience.
Booking in advance is mandatory, and you must check in at the visitor center (km 10.6 on route 381) for registration and information.
Hiking can be done from late May until snowfall, i.e. towards the end of October. Ask us about our alternative 109 km departure.
During hunting season, it is necessary to wear an orange bib (sale/rental available) and the presence of dogs is not permitted.
On nordic skis
Available only as of winter 25-26
The winter excursion runs from late December to late March, and is carried out exclusively on skis.
Nordic skis are recommended. Classic cross-country skis, touring skis or even Hok skis (snowshoe skis) are not recommended.
Skins are strongly recommended for both steep ascents and descents (rental available).
The use of a sled is also not recommended. The type of terrain makes its use very difficult, if not impossible.
Note that this is a difficult, technical and rustic trail, especially the first half. If you have any doubts about your ability, please contact us.
Snowshoes are only allowed in exceptional cases at the beginning and end of the season, when conditions are not suitable for skis.
As we cannot guarantee skiable conditions all winter long, you will need to adapt your equipment according to our recommendations. Climate change is more and more present each year, and we need to be resilient.
