Les Granges

Trail no.9 starts from mid way up the Tougnete lift and follows the same route as red no.11 and black no.6 at the beginning. Head right and right again, and the trail snakes down through the trees for 4.6km, descending 500m, and rejoins the bottom of the Tougnete lift.

Les Allues

Trail no.11 follows red trail no.9 and black trail no.6 at the beginning and then forks off to the right from the black trail and then shortly after, left from red trail no.9. This trail ends in Les Allues so you'll need to pick up the bus to get back up into Méribel centre.
