Beautiful and easy 1 hour skin up to Tête de la Payanne from the Bruson ski area. There are countless runs down from the top, but the ridge run is by far the most spectacular. When entering the widespread canadian trees, make sure to keep going skiers left so that you end up on the cat-track that leads back to the Bruson chairlift.
