Map ref. :

When you arrive at the top of Pré la Joux chairlift, the route starts straight ahead a few metres ahead. It winds its way up the combe known as Happy Valley for almost 2km.

Crossing this combe offers a nice view of the "Tête du Géant".

A few slopes make for a technical climb, despite the gentle, even profile.

The route arrives at the top of the Cornebois chairlift and takes you back down on blue and red runs to the Pré la Joux car park.

We recommend returning on the red Chaux des Rosées piste and then the red Rochassons piste to avoid missing the junction back to the Pré la Joux car park.

The last descent should be made before 4.30pm.

A fairly difficult route.
