Habère-Poche: Skiing, Cycling and Hiking

Habère-Poche offers a range of activities for your stay: winter sports, cycling, hiking and culture. When looking for a hotel, you can first consider which of these activities will shape your trip. The access to the Les Habères ski slopes is in the town centre; the ski area is connected to the Bellevaux-Hirmentaz ski resort. The facilities at the Domaine nordique, the hiking paths and Rock’n Poche also offer different options for planning your trip.

Winter Sports and Cross-Country Skiing

Alpine skiing and cross-country skiing are associated with different named facilities: Les Habères and the Domaine nordique des Moises. For cross-country skiing, the Domaine nordique des Moises has three trails: “Les Planeurs” is a green trail, 3 km long; “le Bois de Bouleau” is blue and 5 km long; and “les Moises” is red and 8 km long. At 8 km, “les Moises” is the longest trail, while “Les Planeurs” is the shortest at 3 km; “le Bois de Bouleau” falls between them at 5 km. Operation of the seasonal winter facilities depends on snow conditions. The Domaine also has two signposted walking paths; their operation is also seasonal and depends on snow conditions.

Cycling and Hiking

The Habères Bike Park has three downhill trails: a blue one measuring 1.8 km, a red one measuring 1.4 km and a green one measuring 1.8 km. The blue and green trails are the same length; the red trail is shorter at 1.4 km. Trail configurations may change. There is also a mountain biking route for families; access to it is weather-dependent.

The hiking paths differ in their starting points and landscapes. “Les Granges Vigny” descends from the top of the Darandet chairlift through forest and alpine pastures; access is weather-dependent. “Le chemin du Pely” passes through mixed forest, village hamlets and pastures alongside the ski slopes, and is accessible seasonally and depending on the weather. “Les Granges Vigny” is defined by its starting point at the top of the chairlift and its descent; “Le chemin du Pely” stands out for its changing scenery of forest, hamlets and pastures.

Church and Rock’n Poche Festival

The church in Habère-Poche was built in 1840 in the neoclassical style. It adds a specific connection to the town’s architectural history to the range of leisure activities.
