About this route
This short but strongly descending walk leads from La Creusaz down toward Les Marécottes through forest and alpine scenery. Although the distance is modest, the considerable descent of around 647 metres requires good footwear and reasonable sure-footedness, especially on steeper downhill sections. The route is best treated as a moderate mountain walk despite its short length.
