Mont Lachaux is a World Cup women's speed ski course in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, opened in 1987.[1][2]

They hosted the Alpine World Ski Championships in 1987, with Swiss skiers Pirmin Zurbriggen, Maria Walliser, Erika Hess and Peter Müller who took 8 of 10 available gold medals, dominating in front of the home crowd.

Not to be confused with other two nearby ski courses (all three hosting World Championships 1987); the right next "Piste Nationale" men's downhill course and "Chetzeron" which is located away in Crans village.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
