A technical but fun trail starting at Mélezet gondola lift.
Description
You get to the start via a track of about 1 km, then find yourself on a singletrack path which is steep in places. The end part is more fun, so you can let go of the brakes a bit and enjoy yourself!
Why the name? The area used to be dotted with small fir trees ("sapinettes"), but that was before the 2017 avalanche. Pity...
Period of opening
From 15/06 to 15/09.
Subject to favorable snow and weather conditions.

Start of the trail at the hamlet of la repose. Take the Mélézet gondola back down to the arrival point of the la repose chairlift (gantry on the left).
I'll get there by bus; Line 1 - Rond-point La Norma stop (no bike transport on the line).
I'm going by car: park in the La Norma leisure center parking lot and then take the ski lifts.
You can also take an enduro ascent to the starting point.
