Snowshoe trail from Menthières to La Poutouille

Coming from the small resort of Menthières, head towards a mountain pasture chalet from where you can admire panoramic views of Mont-Blanc, the Alps and the Lake Geneva basin, Geneva so close, the Hautes-Combes du Jura...

Bear in mind that in the mountains in winter the weather conditions can change very quickly; don't venture into unknown areas if your mountain experience doesn't allow you to do so.

Some other itineraries are marked out in the same area for snowshoeing, they all lead to areas where wildlife is at peace, in the heart of the Haute Chaîne du Jura Nature Reserve, it is strictly forbidden to deviate from them.
