PLATEAU DE RETORD - LACHAT 

Porte des Plans d'Hotonnes - Porte de Cuvéry - Porte de la Chapelle de Retord - Petit Abergement 

This wonderfully shaped Nordic plateau is a huge area where the rare isolated houses are the only signs of man in the numerous coombs and wood-covered mountains. Legends from long ago still haunt the site, thus providing the cross-country, raquette and dog-drawn sleigh runs with a truly unique atmosphere.
