Loop 470: Les Rasses - Chasseron - Les Cluds - Les Rasses
Starting from Les Rasses station, the route begins with a short walk along the edge of the forest. The ascent, with a difference in altitude of around 400m, takes you through the forest towards the famous Chasseron ridges.
Once you reach the summit, you'll be able to enjoy the famous 250-kilometre view of the highest peaks in the Swiss and French Alps, and a unique feeling of freedom.
A place of great energy, the Chasseron is guaranteed to recharge your batteries, thanks to the intense telluric forces measured on its crests. Not to be missed, below the hotel, the "Pierre de la Paix", symbolising the union of heaven and earth.
The return journey takes you gently down through the woods and pastures towards Les Cluds before reaching Les Rasses.

Chalet des Avattes
Restaurant les Avattes is located on one of the most beautiful terraces in the region. From the balcony, the view over the plain is wide open to the horizon, facing Mont Blanc, the Alps and even the entrance to the Valais.
Originally located on the Avattes chairlift, which ceased to exist in 1991, this building has been a restaurant since its foundation. In winter, it sits in the middle of the ski slopes of the Les Rasses ski area.
On the menu: Mountain dishes such as fondues (wine, cider and beer) and croûtes, as well as a variety of salads and roast beef. All products are locally sourced from Sainte-Croix.
Specialities: Le délice des Avattes, baked camembert with honey, rosemary and walnuts.
Cook's tip: "La fondue au cidre" (cider fondue), a childhood dish of the owners. This recipe is lighter and easier to digest.
