The Valley of the Clarée en Winter
In winter, you will discover the Clarée Valley when putting on your Snowshoeing ou your Cross-country skis, or by driving a Dog sled.
Here, no noisy chairlifts or gondolas that disfigure the landscape, no buildings or large complexes, just unspoiled Nature, an authentic mountain village... and you.
Many Snowshoe walks are accessible from the Chalet d’en Hô; you will be able :
- get into one of the Haute Vallée refuges for lunch or a hot drink
- follow the Clarée to fontcouverte
- walk in the forest where you might encounter an animal?
- discover the Col de l’Echelle when the road is closed and it becomes a little “end of the world” againFor founders, our domain offers you 60 km Nordic trails and itineraries, green, blue, red, black trails, in the forest, in the sun, along the Clarée... Connections provide access to the other villages in the valley: Plampinet, Val-des-Prés, le Rosier ...
