Route: Tour du Pre de l'Arc x 1, Myrtilles x 3

After a bit of XC skiing I toured from the Col de Porte pistes to the bottom drag then continued down the path at the end.

The top of the Charmant Som plateau had been pisted to make up for the lack of trails lower down. A real treat to do a couple of loops in pleasant conditions although we do the same crust skiing.

I knew there was a lack of snow. All the lower runs are shut. The skating was pretty good. A lot of people on foot, some stomping on the ski runs, doh! Not too many other skiers.

A little tour of the cycle lanes of Crolles. Of no real interest unless you find yourself here, with rollerskis, but I've seen a few people do this route.

As it says, out on classic roller skis, those with a ratchet to prevent them rolling backwards. I don't really know the technique and have to admit having some aches and pains the next day.

A long rollerski on a fantastic autumn day. Leaving from Chambery I took the bike lane all the way to the Petit Port at Aix les Bains then back again.
