Located on the south face of the Gibloux, Nordic Région 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.

Enjoy the Red Trail, an easy hike between forest and forest edges.

From the Chalet-Neuf, turn left, walk along the clearing to the edge of the forest and follow signpost B. Stroll between the snow-covered fir trees to reach point B „Prâ Boû“ then continue in the forest until you reach point C „Devin Dessus“. After a slight climb, you can see a superb panorama overloo- king the region, Vaulruz, with the Moléson as a backdrop. Once out of the forest, join the sign D „Prâ Pèjé“. From there, go to your left, walk along the edge of the forest and reach the highest point of 1‘069m from „Pra Fillie- ux“. The hike continues through the woods to point F „Reservoir“. Continue up to point G then, go on your left following signpost A. When you reach the edge, you will discover the cross-country ski trails and you will see the Chalet-Neuf in the distance, which marks the end of your hike.

More connections are possible (in orange): 1. Connection Sur les Monts (K) (850 m.) 2. Connection Passerelle des Bugnons (N) / Les Mottes (R via Q) (1.27 km.)
