Panoramic tracks

The panoramic blue Bouquetins and Freissinières runs, which start at the 2 peaks of the ski area (le Drouvet 2,655 m and Fressinières 2,725 m), offer the chance to descend from the top of the ski area all the way down to the resort. These routes are ideal for families, who can share long descents together.
