Easy access
Morning
Afternoon
Short incursion at the entrance to the Lindar valley, away from the departmental road, to learn snowshoeing, discovering the hamlets of Panloup and Penon. No difficulty.
ou can set off from the Visitor Centre (2h round trip) or 400m further on, just past the "Les Nivéoles" holiday village (1h30 round trip).
Walk along the road, then turn right onto the summer path just after the swimming pool, signposted "Penon: 45'". After a short climb, the path turns left and runs alongside a fir grove to reach the hamlet of Panloup. Go behind the houses to catch up with a path that descends slightly through meadows. At the last fence post, a snowshoe sign points you in the right direction. Cross the field parallel to the road towards a large, isolated fir tree. After crossing the stream, you will come across another sign. Go downhill along the stream. Pass behind the houses and continue in the same direction until you reach the Route du Lindar, the starting point for many snowshoeing itineraries.
Return by the same route or by road.
