This easy, pleasant walk along the Cervières Nordic ski area snowshoe trail follows the Blétonnet stream through the Bois du Balais and Bois des Oules, with the Crête des Oules and Pic de Rochebrune in your sights.

Description

From the parking lot, head for the hamlet of Le Laus and the start of the pistes, on the left as you go up.

Take the wide track opposite the Gîte de l'Arpelin, towards Le Bletonnet and Bois des Oules. Then follow the signs for the "Les Oules" pedestrian/snowshoe trail. At the fork in the road, ignore the cross-country ski trail on the right towards Blétonnet. Continue along the right bank of the torrent towards La Cascade.

Ignore the second right-hand track towards Col de l'Izoard.

Follow the track to its end, then take the same route back.
