Walking up to the summit of the Niremont in snowshoes will reward you with an unforgettable panoramic view, from Mont-Blanc to Moléson, via the Jura, Lake Geneva and Lake Neuchâtel. A charming walk in a protected natural area.

From the Pueys parking lot, cross the road to start the ascent through fields and fir trees, past the Chalet des Errouvines, then along a ridge leading to the Niremont plateau, a popular moonscape for snowkaters. At the Croix du Niremont, enjoy spectacular views from the Jura to Mont-Blanc, before retracing your steps. Descend from the Chalet du Gros Niremont to the ski resort of Rathvel, where you'll find La Cabane du Petit Oiseau, open daily in winter to sample local produce.

The SuisseMobile itinerary: 265 guides you through an initial flat section, followed by a final descent to the Casa Derrey mountain pasture to return to Les Pueys.

Please stay on the snowshoe trails and avoid the ski slopes, reserved exclusively for skiers and snowboarders. Thank you for your understanding.
