Cross Country Ski Map of Autrans and Méaudre
Méaudre

Is within skiing distanec of Autrans. From the nordic centre at Autrans take the navette up to Carrefour du Cret, follow the tracks around the contour for a couple of kilometres to La Vira at 1380m and then ski downhill for 11 km all the way to Mèaudre at 1000m. The descent is so gradual that you have to ski the whole way, but it is a really excellent track for practising technieque and cornering. The hardier skiers can ski the track in reverse!
