XC: la Croix is often easier to XC start than l'aiguille take-off, especially when inversion is high. Might be big XC start to the East, but it's tough, narrow valleys with wind.
it's THE site when you finish your job, at the end of the day. You can make beautifull cross-country in 'Belledonne' mountain, in the north.
It's often possible to hitch a ride from the LZ
