Winter hike to Tête du Danay & Espace Nordique des Confins

During winter 2020, I visited another ski resort near Annecy. This time, I headed to La Clusaz, at the foot of the Aravis mountains: The resort is mostly known for its alpine skiing slopes but is also has extensive nordic skiing tracks, as well as prepared tracks for snowshoes and walking. I walked on those tracks and slightly beyond in order to go up to Tête du Danay, where I had already been during spring. I also walked around Espace Nordique des Confins.
