Châtel

Hiking and accompanied outings

Purpose built tracks.

There have been paths through the forests and leading to the high pastures since time immemorial. Some have fallen into disuse and what little remains can often lead you astray, as do the so-called cow paths, and the loggers tracks that are often dead-ends.










However, Châtel Tourist Office and the National Forestry Commission have joined forces and have created a network of signposted paths through the most interesting areas on the mountains.
These paths are colour-coded with paint marks on the ground and on adjacent trees and rocks. Crossroads mostly have accurate and informative signposts. There are some 90km of signposted paths in Châtel, form the gentle 1 hour walk to the day-walk, what to satisfy everyone.
