18. Morgins – Foilleuse

Morgins

Closed

Hiker's choice! This can be an easy downhill ramble or a challenging uphill workout between Morgins and the Foilleuse chairlift.

Starting at the bottom station of the Morgins gondola lift , the trail passes next to the bar called Chez Marie. Just past the chalet, take the large path on your left. Pass under the gondola lift, then look for the first round snowshoe sign direction Savolaire.

At the crossroads, turn right into the forest following the Madzé snowshoe signs.

At Madzé, take the wide path on your right, signposted Foilleuse. Take the left-hand path to the ridge and follow it to the top of the Morgins gondola lift . From here, you will enjoy one of the region’s most spectacular views of the Dents du Midi and surrounding Alps.

Descent by gondola lift.

Variation:
Take the gondola lift up and hike down on snowshoes:
Time 1h30.
When you leave the gondola lift, turn left. The first snowshoe sign is at the arrival of the ski tunnel for beginners. From here, you will follow the ridge, admiring the view over the surrounding mountains.

Parking available in Morgins village centre.

Turn-by-turn direction

In Morgins, snowshoe trails are not numbered in the field (the number is only used on the map). Our signposting corresponds to the official pink signs used in Switzerland, with a signpost (destination) at major junctions and small pink signs (without destination) along the route.
