hiking up to jura - is it possible this time of year

Mar 25, 2016 @ 09:30

Hello glocals.

I want to do a nice day long hike tomorrow and since I am New here I have few experience.

Is the hike to Recoulet or Cret de la neige doable this time of year without snow equipment? I did Saleve last weekend and was still pretty icy. This is facing south though.

Also I wonder if the hike along the ridge to Montoisey is nice?

Thanks for your tips.

I did it two months ago without snowshoes or poles.

We couldn't get to the very top because the snow was too deep, but we were around 20 minutes from the tip of Reculet.

The ascent in the snow is exhausting but the most risky part is actually the descent. If it's too cold it will be icy, and if it's too warm it could be muddy. I'd bring poles at the very least.
