I'd been away for a few days, bad weather so no skiing lost. I got back around noon on Wednesday. A glorius day of sun and blue skied. Not too warm. Maybe a chance to get in a quick west face.

ClimbFrom the Station du Granier, when the resort is open you are not allowed to climb on the ski runs. This is pretty strictly controlled by the pisteurs.

The big return of Luc from bivouak.net after his second paragliding accident. He seemed to climb pretty well given the pins in his ankle and his elderly Scarpa boots.

ClimbFrom the Teleski du Chamchaude parking at 1250 meters about 1km before the col de Porte follow the ski run. After about 1km you join the main run from the Col de Porte on your left.

Relatively steep climb on the south-east side of Grenoble up through the village of le Venon (bar opposite the church).

Classic Turin Loop. I did it on a hybrid bike hired from Touringbike which was in good condition but heavier than I'm used to. The climb to the Superga is spectacular with views over Turin.

RouteFrom the Clots car park head south into the Fauge valley in the direction of the Combe Charbonnière (signpost) to the west slopes of the Gerbier.
