Snowshoeing route: Pont de Lachal - L’Echet

Departure: Saint-Colomban-des-Villards / La Chal / Capaillan Bridge Parking A superb discovery of "Medium" difficulty, through the forest, where you will likely spot chamois and ibex. From the via ferrata parking lot, cross the Capaillan bridge and take the trail that descends to the right towards the stream. Cross the stream then take the trail that climbs to the left. Cross the clearing, then after the small wooded area, turn right and follow the trail that climbs slightly to a hairpin bend on the left. Continue on the trail that descends again. Once you reach the clearing, turn right onto the trail that descends through a wood before emerging into a wide clearing. Walk along the trees to the right of the clearing. At the bottom of this clearing, turn right, then take the trail that descends straight ahead, leaving an uphill trail on your right. Walk along the Glandon River, then cross the stream again before reaching the starting parking lot.
