Snowshoe trail - Boucle des Blattes
To get to the starting point from the centre of Châtel, head towards Vonnes and go as far as the inter-domain link, either by car or by taking the line 4 shuttle bus and getting off at the "Gabelou" stop.
From the start sign, follow the path overlooking the Chapelle
Notre Dame de Vonnes to join the Chemin des Ramines in the direction of the Gabelou chairlift.
Cross the bridge and then turn left to follow the track above the chairlift station. At the junction with the downhill ski slope, turn left again at the hairpin bend and continue straight ahead through the forest to the beautiful viewpoint at Les Blattes.
You can return to the start by the same route.
Variation: continue on the wide track towards Morgins for 40m, then turn right onto a narrower path to complete the loop. Continue straight ahead on the relatively flat path (1 km) before plunging straight down the slope towards the Gabelou chairlift.
