The 11th Journee nationale de la raquette a neige. We went up to Chamrousse, but there were other events happening around the country. http://www.journee-raquettes.org/ We had a 1.5 hr guided walk around the plateau, then returned for a little hot-chocolate + Chartreuse. Once re-warmed :) we then set off on own for Lake Achard.
