It is surely with snowshoes on your feet that you can best enjoy the charm of the undergrowth of Haute-Loire.
On the Mézenc massif, there are no less than 15 km of marked trails starting from the Maison Forestière, with a connection from the village of Estables. Ideal for flirting with the peaks of Mont Alambre, an ancient volcano. Unless you prefer to discover the woods of Chaudeyrac towards Saint Front.
On the Meygal massif, there are 12 km of snowshoe trails that lead to small hamlets nestled in the hollow of the emblematic valleys of Auvergne. Calm and serenity are on the agenda.
Hiking and snowshoeing for a volcanic winter
But the best way to unravel the mysteries of these northern panoramas is to be accompanied by a mid-mountain guide. In addition to taking you on the most beautiful routes, they decipher the unspoiled nature typical of the Massif Central that surrounds you.
Self-guided snowshoe routes
From the first snowflakes, we jump at the idea of taking out our snowshoes and making our first tracks in the snow. So quickly, we start to trudge on the marked trails through the woods of the Domaine du Mézenc or Meygal.
