Beyond the pistes
Freshly groomed trails, empty valleys and the Aiguilles Croches rising beyond the snow.
A quieter way into the mountains.
Be among the first out at La Livraz, skis gliding over freshly prepared tracks as the morning opens across the Plaine d'Arly. The route towards Côte 2000 moves between pine forest and open mountain pasture, with the Aiguilles Croches rising ahead. Eighteen kilometres of trails give the morning plenty of room to unfold at your own pace.
Follow the valley towards Côte 2000.
Start gently on the Nordic trails at La Livraz before following the route towards Côte 2000, where the landscape opens out above the trees. Continue onto the network's more demanding loops for a longer outing, or stay with the quieter sections for an easier morning among the pines and open pasture.
Let the trail set the rhythm.
There is something satisfying about covering the mountain under your own power, with no lifts to catch and nowhere you need to be. The trail dictates the pace, effort on the climbs, long glides through flatter sections, then time to stop when the landscape opens out.
Back before lunch, with the day still ahead.
Return from the trails pleasantly tired, cheeks cold and ready for something warm. Stop at La Livraz for lunch at the Nordic centre, or head back towards Megève for a longer table with the mountains still in view.
