All along your itinerary, on this sunny side, you will discover the built heritage that makes the richness of the Abondance Valley. A breathtaking view of the Essert ski area and the Tavaneuse mountains.

From the Lac des Plagnes parking lot, head downhill towards Chapelle Saint-Anne, then follow the road to Chapelle Saint-Guérin. Then follow the path behind the houses up to the Tetagottay chalets. Cross the bed of the "Cheneau de Grange" to reach Follebin. At the crossroads, take the path up into the forest to reach the Trables oratory, then the Chapelle Saint-Théodule. From here, head back downhill towards the Follebin farms and then back onto the path you took on the way up, this time towards Tetagottay. Descend towards Chez Les Rouges, cross the road and join the path that follows the Malève stream to Lac des Plagnes. Along the way, you'll discover the built heritage (farms, chalets, oratories, chapels) that makes the Vallée d'Abondance so rich. Marking details : Beacons snowshoeing purple. A guide to snowshoeing in the Abondance valley is available at the tourist office.
