Pleney circuit with Nick and Chrissy

Despite being overcast we had very good visibility and lots of fresh snow. The Pleney circuit was as quite, untrodden and as magical as always and the trees were laden down with snow. We added a little detour we had discovered the day before which gave us a wonderful viewpoint where we had our hot chocolate and a kit-kat.

Snowshoe walk with guys and girls from the Nantegue

We took the Super-Morzine bubble and the Zore charlift up Montagne de Seraussaix. We walked along the ski de fond track for a little while up Super-Morzine, then headed off into the trees all the way along to the Col de la Joux Verte where we took the track down from the resturant there towards les Lindarets. We made our own trail down through the trees. The snow is getting really deep now especially here where there are no skiers. We decided eventually to go all the way to the bottom of the Ardent as everyone was up for a bit of a longer walk, where we stopped at La Chalande for an après ski beer and then caught the bus back to Morzine. What a great day.

Snowshoe walk up Super Morzine with three lovely ladies!

Our first snowshoe walk of the season. We took the Super-Morzine cable car and the Zore chairlift up onto the Super-Morzine ridge. We then walked up the ridge, initially along the ski de fond track, then entered the woods and made our own trails between the trees. The snow is already lovely for snowshoeing and not bad for skiing either. We took in the wonderful views of the Ardent valley on our left and the Ardoisière valley on our right. We turned round at the Col de la Joux Verte and came back via a different path to the Super-Morzine lift. The last part is a great little meander through the trees which ends right at the Super-Morzine bubble.
