La grimpée des lapins Map

This trip up Plaine Joux is only permitted when the resort is open. It involves some quite tight kickturns so, if you're new to ski touring, the nearby "Grimpee du Chamois" tour is a better introduction to the sport than this line. This route is short, sharp and scenic - ideal for getting the lungs burning and then rewarding yourself with a long spell sitting in the sun and admiring the view!
