Leaving from Mijoux, the Golf loop offers an easy and varied walk: coniferous forest, vast clearings near the golf course and the gentle murmur of the river in the background. It's the perfect way to get away from it all.
Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
From the Mijoux Tourist Office, cross the Pont de Charlemagne (snowshoes in hand). As you leave the bridge, turn left towards the church of Saint-Christophe, visible from the village.
At the church, put on your snowshoes. The path starts in the field opposite, then veers gradually to the right to follow a track below Monthoiseau.
(1) Carefully cross the Couture road, then take the path of the same name. Follow this road until you reach the Golf course.
(2) Before you reach the golf course, turn right. A small bridge will take you across the Valserine to the other side of the river.
(3) Return along the Pellagrue cross-country ski run, through a pleasant coniferous undergrowth, until you reach the village of Mijoux to the west.
