Ski Touring Route - Le Chanté

This trail is marked near the Cordon ski area, at 1,550 meters in the hills above Cordon, at the foot of the Tête du Planet. It’s a fairly straightforward, open climb, with sunshine and great views to boot.

This route offers two starting points:

• Starting Point 1: La Charbonnière Parking Lot (1,050 m): Starts at the base of the Frébouge ski lift, with a 490-meter elevation gain and a duration of 1 hour and 45 minutes
• Starting Point 2: Dandry Parking Lot (1,210 m): a 330-meter elevation gain and a 1-hour, 15-minute hike

The route is marked with yellow signs.

There are two possible starting points for the ski-touring route: the Charbonnière parking lot and the Dandry parking lot.

1/ From the Charbonnière parking lot, ski down the trail for a few meters to reach the Frébouge ski lift.
2/ Head back up to the left of the red trail and the ski lift.
3/ Next, go around the Darbelin ski lift on the left and follow the Dandry green run.
4/ At the Dandry parking lot (the second possible starting point), the route climbs alongside the Darbelin ski lift. After the ski lift, head up to the left of the Chars ski run until you reach the top of the route.
5/ For the descent, you can take the red Converses run, the blue Herney run, or the red Croix run to reach the Dandry parking lot.
6/ To reach the Charbonnière parking lot, continue the descent on the blue Frébouge run or the red Pirolaine run.
