Nordic ski at Chamrousse. Pistes in good condition but not much time left after the commute.

Just for fun, a little tour around our fitness trail with the fresh snow that fell in the valley.

History has to start somewhere.

Taking advantage of the fresh snow to do some of the Valmeinier off piste.

I'd seen a few people had rollerskied the banks of the Isere from Grenoble Hospital to la Murianette past Gieres. Around 15km.

From the Parc de l'île d'Amour follow the cycle path south for 100 meters then cross over a suspension bridge to the left bank of the Isere.

The climbs are not too long. Basically 4 climbs of around 300 meters. It starts right in the heart of Lyon in the 9th district but the traffic pretty much goes by the turn for the first climb.

Skate from the Col de Porte (which opened today after 20cm of new snow) to the Oratoire. I didn't go any further as it was very windy and zero viz.

From the parking ride into Brignoud crossing the railway line and turn left at the lights. At 2.
