Regain Tovière, then ride down to Le Lac ↓

Worth knowing. Creux finishes across the ridge from Le Lac; the Tommeuses lift is part of the way home. Check that your pass includes it. Johan Clarey and Combe Folle are black ski descents towards Le Lac. This is a different Creux from Courchevel’s.

Regain Tovière, then ride down to Le Lac

At Tommeuses, take the chair back up before the last return connection. Creux ends across the ridge from Le Lac.

Route order · use the ski map for positions

  1. Lift up

    Ride Tommeuses chair uphill to Tovière.

  2. Lift down

What this avoids. The black Johan Clarey and Combe Folle ski descents towards Le Lac.
