Villars - Roc d'Orsay - Red route
Route Information
Description
Difficult ski touring itinerary, open on Tuesday evenings (depending on snow conditions), from the departure of the cable car to the Roc d'Orsay.
Every Tuesday evening, from the closing of the slopes until 10pm, choose ski touring in complete safety in the Villars sector.

Good snow conditions are guaranteed for most of the winter thanks to artificial snow.
