unprepared trail, snowshoes recommended

Magnificent walk on the Severiano Ballesteros Golf, a legendary 18-hole course where the highly reputed Omega European Masters takes place every year. Very easy stroll in an exceptional setting with breathtaking views of the Rhône valley.

Starting from the restaurant La Maison, whose terrace overlooks the golf, begin this lovely walk accessible to everyone, even strollers. This loop, which enjoys significant sunshine, is particularly popular with families during weekends.

Arriving at the part of the golf called Snow Island, you discover a real paradise for children: beginner ski slope, snow tubing, sledding, and the Maison de Bibi which welcomes children and offers them a host of free activities and entertainment. Parents can relax on deckchairs on the terrace of the refreshment bar (also indoor) or at the performance center (indoor golf).

Then follow along the Etang Long lake. You arrive at the Sporting, another restaurant with a well-exposed terrace, and just have to return to your starting point a few meters away.
