Starting in Meribel the route will take you in a loop keeping everyone entertained along the way with forest scenery, meadows and mountain views. From Meribel you want to take the route that heads towards Tougnete 1 bubble lift, before you reach the lift the path will fork and here you want to take the left path towards the tennis and horse-riding areas. Walking past these carry on along the path towards La Petite Rosiere, you will reach another fork where you want to take the left again to complete the loop.
