Les Mairiers trail

This path is regularly groomed and is shared with cross-country skiers. It is easy and almost flat all the way, climbing 170 m and descending 160 m on the way out, then 200 m up and down on the way back.

From Plagne Centre, take the free bus (one every hour) going to "Les Charmettes" and get out at the stop at the top of the bobsleigh track. Alternatively, you can walk down a marked trail from Plagne 1800 or Plagne Bellecôte (follow signs to "Piste de Bobsleigh"). See the "Cavard clearing" direction sheet.

The walk starts to the left of the top of the bobsleigh track (outside the track). Walk along the "Route des Mairiers", a snow-covered road, for about 5 km (same distance back).

Please note that you will be crossing several ski runs and you should take care!
Return on foot only, there is no bus service from Plagne Montalbert 1600. Since this walk goes out and back on the same trail, you can stop whenever you want.
