Staircase Trail

A south-facing slope, of the most pleasant kind, that dons the muted tones

of springtime as soon as the snow melts. When shafts of light pierce through

the tops of the pine and spruce trees, it's a sign the sun is out and a beautiful

summer's day awaits you.

Here's the perfect recipe for a refreshing walk: fragrances of sap, squirrels

scurrying about, playful and sly under your watchful eyes, pine needles partly

carpeting the path, soft and light underfoot... Deep in the woods, it's easy to

forget that these luxuries are shared with mountain bikers and forest bathers.

The Avenières leisure centre, a true oasis of freshness at the heart of the

forest, incites you to take some time out. Have you counted the peculiar

"marches" (trails) you've followed? One thing's for sure, this water basin is

packed with activities!
