Located on the south face of the Gibloux, Nordic Region Gibloux snowshoe trails offer an idyllic setting in winter. Between peat bogs, pastures and fo- rests, you might think you are in Lapland. The view of the Moléson and the Pre-Alps is there to remind us that we are in Gruyère. Various starting points are accessible by car from Riaz, , (TPF Bus) and Maules.

Discover the longest loop of the NRGI, the Black Trail!

From the Chalet-Neuf, turn left and walk along the clearing that appears in front of you. Cross the edge of the forest and go up to the crossing then follow signpost B to reach the „Prâ Boû“. Follow the path through the forest until you see a clearing that will lead you to point C „Devin Dessus“. After a short climb, you will see a superb panorama overlooking the regi- on, , with the Moléson as a backdrop. Once out of the forest, join the sign D of „Prâ Pèjé“. Then, after having passed 3 chalets over a distance of 2.5 km, you arrive at point E and the car park of „Sur les Monts“. Continue bet- ween the fir trees up to point F of the „Reservoir“. Finally, continue your track in a straight line towards point G then towards the Chalet-Neuf buvette.
