01/ Overview
The route
The snowshoe trail «Charmey–Jaun» links the villages of Charmey and Jaun. The route offers a pleasant walk along the Jogne. The path ends at the foot of the Cantorama and the Jaun waterfall.
The nine-kilometre snowshoe tour begins at the Charmey (Gruyère), La Fulateyre bus stop. The route initially leads out of Charmey and across open meadows, interspersed with stretches of woodland. The ascent remains gentle for the most part, with around 220 metres of elevation to be gained in total. Clearings repeatedly open up between the trees, and the route continues steadily towards the upper Jaun valley.
A little over halfway, the houses of Im Fang come into view. Beyond them, pastures and woodland once again alternate as the trail continues to gain height gradually. Towards the end, Jaun comes into view, with the Cascade de Jaun lying slightly off the route. The Restaurant de la Cascade stands nearby. The final metres lead into the village and up to the tour’s highest point at around 1,020 m. After approximately three and a half hours, the snowshoe tour ends at the Jaun, Dorf bus stop.
