Going there : From Chambery go to Saint Jean de Maurienne. When you are in 'la Chambre'go on the D213 towards Saint-François Longchamps. Take a left, before you go up, towards Notre Dame Du Cruet, pass Montgellafrey and continue towards Les Charrieres. The paved road ends but continue on the gravelroad toward the local lake. Hundred meters passed the lake you can walk up the hill for five minutes before arriving at the take-off.
Comments : good starting for XC, especially during summer and, maybe, automn: high take-off.
Weather hazards : If you wait too long you will have the valley wind in your back... it's more difficult to take-off ;-)
