Although for the moment, the Vanoise is my preference for mountain activities, however, nothing prevents wear shoes, rackets and spikes in the other mountain. Thus, a weekend among colleagues was held in Chatel in the Chablais. of Plenty region seems appropriate to snowshoeing: the slopes are moderate and as long as snow conditions are favorable and the risk of avalanche limited, it is possible to venture in many places. Located at the foot of Mont de Grange, Etrye The chalets are a good example output showing no difficulty.

Au départ de Pré la Joux (1300 m), l’objectif peut être atteint en 5h environ par un tracé d’une dizaine de km situé en bonne partie en forêt. On remonte initialement en direction du Betzalin (1483 m) pour atteindre Sur le Crac après quelques kilomètres d’un sentier forestier qui longe globalement les courbes de niveau. On remonte ensuite, par des pentes un peu plus soutenues, vers les chalets de L’Etrye (1694 m) qui font face au Mont de Grange. Il est toujours possible de s’aventurer au-delà mais l’itinéraire is not recommended because it is situated directly under its avalanche slopes.
