Dandry Loop - Snowshoe Trail

This trail, located in the heart of the traditional village, takes you on a pleasant hike where you can enjoy superb panoramic views of the Mont Blanc and Fiz mountain ranges. The view is unobstructed, and the trail is sunny.

This loop has two starting points: either from the Chalet du Dandry (at the ski resort) or from the Route de la Jorasse (near the Frébouges ski lift). You’ll be close to the ski slopes throughout your hike.

The trail for the Dandry Loop is marked with fuchsia-colored signs.
