Snowshoes trail: from Catheline to Crêt de la Neige

The Crêt de la Neige, the highest point in the Jura at 1,720m, can be explored in winter on snowshoes via a route that alternates between forests and clearings. Throughout the climb, there are numerous viewpoints: Mont Blanc, the Alps, Lake Geneva and Geneva, as well as Salève, the Écluse gorge and the Hautes-Combes in the Jura. Depending on the conditions, the lake may glisten in the sun or disappear under a sea of fog, creating a unique atmosphere. A wonderful outing in store.
