Spot de Col du Marchairuz

Col du Marchairuz

Col du Marchairuz

Switzerland

46.56 | 6.25

1447m

Overview

Large hilly valley at 1300m, so the snow stays quite well. No risk of getting lost, but there's plenty of room to explore a bit. The simplest departure is from the stone wall (skiing downhill on the path along the western edge, return on foot, but it's not far). Also possible from the pass behind the Pré de Biere alpine pasture. The area between the road and the wall is marshy, with a nice stream to fall into. Possible to ride there, but be careful if there's little snow.
