Back on the trek – Snowshoeing from Col de Marchairuz to Mt Tendre

Hike description

We’ll go snowshoeing from Col de Marchairuz (1447m) to Mt Tendre (1679m, the highest point in the Swiss Jura)

Duration: 15km, approximately 6 hours.
We go up and down several valleys, so total height gain is approx. 600m.

We are approaching the end of the snow season. It is uncertain what the snow conditions will be like. We will certainly walk a portion without the snowshoes.

Equipment:
Snowshoes (raquettes) and poles.
A strap/elastic to fasten the snowshoes onto your rucksack.
Good hiking shoes (that fit your snowshoes)
Warm clothes. We are going to the highest peak in the region, so it can be very cold.
Picnic
