Itinerary description
This route offers a winter hike through enchanting forests, wonderful panoramic views especially from the Pra Cornet plateau as well as a few encounters with (wooden) goblins ;-)
The route is a combination of two well-marked trails.
It starts as ´Les Mosses–La Lécherette No. 976´ in La Lécherette´s biathlon and cross-country skiing area from where it proceeds via moorland landscape of national importance to Col des Mosses mountain pass. Although it is a winter hiking trail, it can be enjoyed also with snowshoes.
At Col des Mosses, the route continues as a circuit snowshoe trail ´Parcours de Pra Cornet No. 463´.
