Starting in Bretaye, this 5 km snowshoe walk leads through peaceful winter landscapes of glacial lakes and mountains bordered by fir forests.
The route starts at the Col de Bretaye. When the Villars - Bretaye mountain train arrives, cross the pretty hamlet of Bretaye and its wooden chalets in the direction of the Bretaye lake. The lake is on your left. A little further on, the Lac Noir can be seen on your right near the start of the Lac Noir-Chaux Ronde chairlift.
The rest of the walk is wilder; you move away from the ski slopes and reach the Lac des Chavonnes and the restaurant of the same name. Make a stop and either sit inside in the mountain chalet atmosphere or on the terrace to contemplate the beautiful landscape.
On your way out, leave the Lac des Chavonnes behind and head towards Vy-Boveyre, Conche and back to Bretaye.
