01/ Overview

The route

From your cross-country skis, discover the same magnificent setting that golfers enjoy in the summer. Practise your favourite sport on the 9-hole Jack Nicklaus course. The route offers a magnificent view: from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc.

The roughly four-kilometre cross-country ski trail starts at La Moubra, just under 200 m from the Crans-Montana, Scandia bus stop. It undulates gently through open terrain. The nearby Etang-Long lies off the circuit; further on, the trail passes La Buvette and reaches Lac Moubra. Covering five hectares, the lake lies at around 1,420 m and marks the lowest part of the circuit.

The trail then turns towards Crans. Between meadows and the first houses, it gradually climbs again. Lac Grenon and the church of Saint-Christophe lie slightly off the route, which does not lead directly to them. Shortly before the end, the trail reaches its highest point at just over 1,450 m. From there, it is only a few minutes back to La Moubra, where the circuit closes at the starting point after just over an hour.
