Ski touring trail Happy Valley
At the arrival point of the Pré la Joux chairlift, the route starts directly opposite, a few metres ahead.
It runs for almost 2 km up the combe known as Happy Valley.
Description
Crossing this combe offers a nice view of the "Tête du Géant".
A few slopes make for a technical climb, despite the gentle, even profile.
The route arrives at the top of the Cornebois chairlift and takes you back down on blue and red runs to the Pré la Joux car park.
We recommend returning on the red Les Rennes piste and then the red Rochassons piste to avoid missing the junction back to the Pré la Joux car park.
The last descent should be made before 4.30pm.
A fairly difficult route.
