Before heading out on my ski tour, I covered around 20 km on the plateau d'Arselle loipe, a bit of a return to Wednesday’s “scene of the crime”.

Today’s outing took me to La Féclaz, in the Bauges, better conditions compared to l’Arselle yesterday. The snow was faster, more consistent, and overall better to ski.

On the Plateau de l’Arselle the season is stretching on a little longer than usual.

Took the train up from Lyon on Wednesday morning, so I didn’t get going until around 10am.

It was the final day of my three-day trip, and I decided to return to the Col de la Ramaz.

I set out from Praz de Lys at 9.10am, heading off on skate skis in the warmth of an already sunny morning.

I wanted to explore further along the GTV trail compared to last year when it had not been pisted. Today the prep was excellent.

Tucked away in the far southern reaches of the Jura Mountains, the Nordic ski area of Giron is situated at around 1,000 metres above sea level, the small mountain village of Giron offers sweeping view

Return to le Retord as tot wanted to do a bit of alpine skiing but didn't want to stay too long either.

Classic skiing. The return of snow at the Plan des Hotonnes / Plateau de Retord this Sunday after about a month.
