Cross-country ski trail in an exceptional setting in Les Paccots
The four-kilometre trail is prepared in the La Cuva sector for classic cross-country skiing or skating. Located at 1,230 metres above sea level, the site often benefits from heavy snowfall, which is a major advantage for cross-country skiing.
The landscape is bucolic and charming, with surrounding forests, a panoramic view of the mountains of Teysachaux and Dent de Lys, as well as natural heritage and beautiful alpine chalets.
The trail can be considered technically demanding as a whole. However, less athletic visitors can shorten the loop while still enjoying the magnificent scenery.
The start is located at the La Cuva car park, only 6 km from the motorway exit of Châtel-St-Denis. To reach the car park, cross the village of Les Paccots and take the Dent-de-Lys road for approximately 1 km.
Warning: The access road to La Cuva is steep and not salted. Appropriate winter equipment is mandatory for vehicles (snow chains may be required).
Toilets are available, and a sheltered area with benches and tables allows sports enthusiasts to prepare or take a break and eat in protection from the weather.
