Less steep than some of the Brevent couloirs but not to be underestimated. Although shorter than the other Brevent couloirs the Allias offers a wider canvas perfect for opening up. After following the "Charles-Bozon" piste hang a right before "Altitude 2000" into the wide couloir leading you into the Brevent bowl and then the track down to Chamonix- make sure there is enough snow to get you down or it's a long walk!
