GINS XC Skiing – 6 Feb 19 – Lajoux

Fantastic Jura Ski Trails

Following a number of apologies for absence, Mark and I spent a great day out on the far trails of Lajoux (the second Jura ridge) in perfect weather. While the usual grey and soupy cloud covered the whole of the Lake Geneva Region, the Jura basked in calm sunshine. Mark langlaufed, while I skated, but we kept together and completed the 19km of the Combe de la Chèvre which takes in the Forêt de la Massacre. There were many friendly folk out there enjoying the sun with warm smiles and greetings, and the youngest we met was only 15 months, fast asleep in a pulk. Exhausting but brilliant, and rounded off at Lajoux with apple tarte and hot chocolate. Thanks Mark for driving. Peter
