La Féclaz is northeast from Chambéry in the northern French Alps. It has the most fun trails for cross-country skiing that Ken + Sharon have found so far in the different countries and regions which they've skied. The nordic ski trails are part of the Savoie Grand Revard ski resort.

special opportunity this Saturday: the "nordic adventure" trail from the Refuge de la Plate to the Refuge du Creux de Lachat is groomed for skating -- so Ken skated out there.
