Snowshoe itinerary: Jomier

A natural interlude between sky and fir trees. The Jomier loop takes you from a vast open plateau, bathed in light and tranquillity, to a more secretive forest, where the wind shapes the trees and diffuses a subtle scent of resin.

Description

Along the way, you'll be captivated by the panoramic views of the majestic Pointe de Longe Côte (3,104 m), which dominates the Aussois landscape and the surrounding peaks.
