Description

Enjoy a ski touring route that starts gently along a groomed trail, allowing you to get used to your equipment and warm up before enjoying. Then take in the magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and the valley.

Starting from the Bettex snow front, take the multi-purpose trail towards Prapacot. After a few strides on flat or almost flat ground, the route climbs through the Alpage des Grands Prés. Just before entering the forest again, don't miss the sublime view of the Mont Blanc massif.
A few more efforts among the fir and spruce trees and you will arrive at the Monts Rosset chairlift.

The last few metres, still in the forest, take you to the top of the Monts Rosset chairlift and its 360° panorama.

For the descent, it's time to remove your skins. Take the blue La Finance run and, at the first intersection, continue on the same run or take the red La Crête run. Return to the Bettex snow front where several establishments await you for a well-deserved drink.

Difficult sections

Be careful at the intersections of the La Marmire ski run and the La Finance ski run.
