La Borne des 3 Cantons - Piste rouge de ski nordique

A fairly difficult trail, initially following the piste verte, then climbing from the Croix de l'Orme to the 3 cantons marker via the Combe à Brazier ascent (altitude approx. 1180 m).
Halfway up the Combe à Brazier climb, take a diversion off-piste to the right to reach the "plane" commemorative stele. In February 1944, a Royal Air Force plane carrying supplies for the maquis crashed on a stormy night, leaving no survivors among the 7 crew members.
At the 3 cantons milestone, turn right for a quicker return to Valorse, but with some very technical descents and a beautiful view of Mont Blanc.
The 3 cantons milestone was established in 1864 to mark the boundary of the property of Baron de Montillet de Champdor, and delimits the cantons of Brénod (commune of Champdor), Hauteville (commune of Hauteville-Lompnes) and Champagne en Valromey (commune of Ruffieu).
Return via the green route from Valorse.
