Snowshoe trail - Les Québales

Head towards Villapeyron and park in the sawmill car park. The route starts at the top of the Chemin de Villapeyron, 50m from the car park.

The path enters undergrowth, crosses a stream and climbs straight up until it reaches a forest track. From here, take the winding path up to the oratory.

Continue along the path rising to the right of the oratory and join the wide path leading to the Boudîmes mountain pasture. Cross the mountain pasture to reach a small plateau behind the high-voltage pylon.

The route then rises gently through the mountain pastures, the panorama opening up as you climb and you can see the Dents du Midi (3,257m).

Once you reach Les Québales-bas, leave the left-hand path leading into the forest and take the path to the top of the route.

You're in the Mont de Grange game reserve, and if you're patient and quiet, you might just catch a glimpse of some chamois!

The return journey takes the same route, but don't venture beyond the Québales where the risk of avalanches is high.
