Route description

Starting from the village (1172 m), this signposted route is entirely uphill. The route gradually rises as you leave the hustle and bustle of the resort to reach the calm of the Lac des Écoles area.

The route then winds its way through typical Haute-Savoie woodland, offering a hushed, wild atmosphere despite the proximity of the slopes. The effort is rewarded on arrival at the summit of Les Nauchets (1662 m), where a natural viewpoint opens out over the entire ski area of Les Gets and Morzine.

This is the perfect itinerary for those seeking the pleasure of sealskin skiing in complete serenity on a sunny slope.
