Marécottes – La Chaulée trail

Discover LA CHAULEE

The entire ascent is off-piste, with the exception of a few signposted crossings. Whether for walking or training, this trail is open to anyone equipped with touring skis

Access to the Les Marécottes night hike is only authorised if two conditions are met:

  • Access by ski touring is possible from Les Marécottes / Les Peutex (randoparc La Chaulée d’en Bas and La Chaulée d’en Haut open)
  • No danger of avalanches in the Les Marécottes area

Every evening, the slopes are groomed as soon as the facilities close (4pm), so access is forbidden.

However, the ‘Les Perrons’ and ‘La Chaulée d’en Haut’ sectors remain open to ski tourers every Friday evening until 9pm.

For your own safety, please observe the signs and barriers restricting access.

As soon as grooming begins, the rotating lights indicate a very high level of danger due to the groomers and the tow ropes of the groomers.

Anyone entering the Les Marécottes ski area does so at their own risk. VerticAlp Les Marécottes S.A. declines all responsibility in the event of an accident.

  • Last slope at 9PM ; no cabin descent possible

Pop Up Challenge Rando Nocturne

Our association is continuing its partnership with the PopUp Challenge. Initiated in 2020 in the Vallée de Bagnes by journalist Romy Moret, this challenge encourages mountain and terroir enthusiasts to explore, through hiking, specific sites of interest in a given region. A special “Rando Nocturne” edition is integrated into the application, enabling all routes to be validated as soon as night-time routes are secured.

The Association Rando Nocturne is delighted with this collaboration, which undoubtedly helps to strengthen communication around ski touring and guarantee safe, responsible practice.
