Il est avec son voisin, le TSF2 Chef Lieu, situé quant à lui au village, un des deux points de départ du domaine. Comme je viens de le dire, il est assez long et permet un accès vers les différents secteurs du domaine Plateau de la Croix, Croix du christ, gouet. Il dessert principalement deux pistes la petite épaule et les Chattrix. Assez longues toutes deux, elle sont de fréquentation moyenne et sont situées plein nord ainsi, la neige y reste constamment dure. La piste des Chattrix possède des canons à neige, et reste ainsi ouverte jusqu'en fin de saison, ce qui est d'autant mieux. La ligne du télésiège alterne entre forêts et plateau ensoleillés. Petit conseil prenez-le de préférence le matin, c'est là qu'il est au soleil et il fait beaucoup moins froid...Côté technique, vous remarquerez que la gare aval n'est pas identique à celle du TSF Epaule ou de l'ex TSF Croix du christ je ne saurais la nommer....Voici sa situation sur le plan des pistesII/ Quelques caractéristiquesConstructeur MONTAZ MAUTINOSaison d'exploitation hiverPente moyenne 31 % Capacité 2 personnesPente maxi 68 %Dénivelé 464 mDébit 1200 p/hAnnée de construction 1981Longueur développée 1581 mVitesse d'exploitation 2,35 m/sNombre de pylones 15Altitude aval 1200 m environAltitude amont 1664 m environSens de la montée gaucheIII/ Reportage photosToutes les photos datent du 10 février 2008.
