From the Lift Descend down the 4x4 track under the lift until it is possible to take the trail (direction Le Buet) Some short carry sections and a particularly fieace (but short lived) switchback section are the only interuptions to this fine trail. Easy ride back along the valley back to the lift station. Great when combined with a Loriaz lap before or after.
