Le chalet Ducray

Take this little-travelled, wild route for a short, rejuvenating break, and indulge your desire for solitude in the deep forest near the Les Aillons ski resort!

D/ Parking du Rond-Point du Lindar.

1/ Take the track leading up to the Col du Lindar.

2/ At the pass, take the wide path on your left which climbs up to the chalet Ducray.

Depending on the season, cows may be waiting for you there, so remember to close the gates behind you to prevent them escaping.>>

3/ After admiring the huge conifers, continue along the track towards the Col du Pré du Tour, leaving the shortcut back to the parking lot.

4/ Well before the pass, look out for the faintly-marked path on the left, which you can take on the way back.
Slightly downhill at first, the slope steepens sharply and this short stroll ends with a succession of small switchbacks leading back to the parking lot.
