Getting to the slopes
Skiing outfrom the chalet
Leave the hamlet
From Les Vernettes farm, keep the group of three chalets called La Lauzière on your left.
Gentle climb — +15 m elevation
Walk or ski gently uphill for 300 m, skis on your feet or over your shoulder depending on how packed the path is (about 5 min). Very easy, even for beginners.

Down to the ski lifts
Glide gently along the Sainte-Foy snowshoe trail. This lovely natural route takes you past the old mills and down to the Bonconseil chapel in front of the Yellowstone hotel and the lifts.
Back to the chalet
Skiing backwithout a single pole push
From the bottom of the Marquises chairlift, follow the signed path. 2-star level recommended, especially when the path is icy.
Follow the path as it winds for 2 km down to Chalet Les Vernettes. Children love this snowplough run along the narrow lane.
Last turn onto the doormat — without a single pole push!

Alternativeroutes back
Alternative 2 — Chapelle run
Continue on the "Chapelle" run 500 m further along (just after a right-hand bend and before a left-hand bend). 2-star level recommended — you need to be comfortable snowploughing on ungroomed snow. For confident skiers, this is a very pleasant way home.
Alternative 3 — Off-piste through the trees
Make your own tracks through the fir trees! For powder lovers and those seeking a little extra thrill.
