Distance: 13.7 km

Vertical Climbed: 544 meters (1,785 feet)

Description

Had work to do this morning so rather than tour decided to skate to the Cret de Luisard (I ski tour to the same summit) via the Cret du Poulet. Quite a hard climb due to the low cloud meaning that skiers descending were not too visible. Splendid views at the summit. Lots of surface hoar crystals have formed in the cold, clear nights.

Weather: Cloud to 1500 meters.

Access: Snow covered from les Vincents
