A long and pretty walk down through the forest on a snowclad road, well away from the slopes ; the walks allows to discover a large pine forest, with its clearing and hamlets, known as "Les Montagnettes"
Take the Lac Noir gondola to access the plateau of Plan Bois. Follow the signposts down towards the "Plan Bois" restaurant, and behind it to a forest track. When you reach signs "Praizes dessus", follow the route left through into the forest ; continue onwards down this road until the hamlet of "Praz Salvard", uninhabited during the winter.
In Praz Salvard, leave the road, following signs to the right indicating "Les Coches". Follow this itinerary until you reach the "Orgère" parking area, 10 minutes form the centre of les Coches.
