A beautiful hike through the heart of the Jorasse Forest, which is traditionally covered in deep snow (to reach the highest point, the Avenaz).

Starting from the Cornillon parking lot or the upper Lezaive parking lot, set out to explore the Jorasse Forest by taking the forest road uphill. The return trip follows a slightly steeper path but remains within the forest. This loop is the easiest and shortest in Cordon, making it ideal for families. A map is available at the tourist office to help you explore this trail and other routes. Guided snowshoe excursions: During these excursions, a mountain guide will accompany you and lead you safely through the forests and along the ridges. These fun and easy themed excursions are tailored to the participants’ skill levels. They’ll help you get to know our natural environment better. You can satisfy your curiosity by asking your guide questions. You’ll see just how different the landscape looks from the heights of Cordon. Group or private snowshoe tours are available.
