A hot drink awaits walkers there as a lovely reward. On the way back, the trail entirely dressed in white offers a new reading of the landscape. Although the walk remains simple, caution is needed in heavy snow. Depending on weather conditions, some areas may present an avalanche risk. In winter, it is also advised not to go beyond the Vieux They restaurant.

For another snowy escape, the winter hike in Les Diablerets (in French) proves just as pleasant.
