Itinerary description
From the parking go up right towards the houses and pass behind the houses into the forest. Turn right, do not follow along the Bisses. Go upwards, more or less steep and follow the pink snowshoe signs no 12, direction Plan Monnay (which is the highest point).
From there follow the crest and go down. You'll have to cross ski pistes and walk along a ski piste for a while.
Besides an entrance to a ski lift, you turn sharp left and go down rather steeply, following for Le Chapelet rather than Liddes. After some chalets, turn left and go down (under another lift and over another ski piste) back to the parking.

Jolie boucle, paysage magnifique. Le passage sur la crête est particulièrement joli ! Il y a pas mal de montées raides par endroit et c’est assez soutenu. Si on à moins de temps ou d’entraînement, possibilité de monter en télésiège jusqu’à la buvette et de faire ainsi la moitié de la boucle avec peu de montée et profiter de la jolie crête tout de même
