Source summary

Source directions

From the parking by the recycling bins in Couteray, if there is enough snow go directly up the field to join the forest track for Loriaz, if not walk up through Couteray to join it. After about 20 to 30 mins there is an option to take a narrower track, (summer footpath,) on the right, (at a hairpin bend with a signpost.) This path passes by Nant du Loriaz on the IGN map, (slightly more avalanche prone). From the chalets spot the obvious ridge above Loriaz and go up the pleasant slopes on the right before traversing diagonally back left to a little summit on the ridge. The summit has a small tree complete with solar powered Christmas lights (2020). >**Descent**>From the summit it is possible to ski the N, W and S slopes, depending on the conditions. Then follow the forest track back to Couteray

Source safety information

The route is popular with skieurs and snowshoers as far as the end of the forest and the Tête de la Chevrette, slightly less for the chalets de Loriaz, and even less for the part above Loriaz.

[img=821947 right]Le Charmoz : itinéraires SW et S[/img]>##Montée>Du Couteray, prendre la piste forestière qui monte à Loriaz. Des chalets, repérer l'arête évidente au-dessus de la montagne de Loriaz et rejoindre l'arête sommitale par des pentes agréables, juste soutenues comme il faut. La pente sous la crête menant au sommet est à environ 30°; suivant les conditions nivologiques, ce passage fait que l'itinéraire peut être problématique. La pente est S; elle est malgré tout vite en condition.>###Variante>Possibilité aussi en fonction de l'enneigement de prendre le chemin d'été depuis le Couteray pour monter à Loriaz afin d'éviter la longue piste forestière.>##Descente >Du sommet, possibilité de descendre en versant N, W, ou S selon l'envie et les conditions.>Ensuite : par le même itinéraire mais en privilégiant la route forestière moins acrobatique pour la descente.

Source safety information

- L'itinéraire est assez fréquenté par les raquetteurs et skieurs jusqu'au débouché de la route forestière et la Tête de la Chevrette, un peu moins pour les chalets de Loriaz, et très peu par le chemin d'été et la partie au-dessus de Loriaz.
