L'Aiguillette Des Posettes, South side Map

A real adventure as you traverse and ski fantastic terrain all the way to the valley floor. From the Posettes lift traverse hard right following the flowing terrain above the avalanche barriers before linking clearings all the way to the valley floor. A real adventure. To be undertaken early in the day before the South facing slopes get cooked! Be aware of the steep cliff faces beneath you. Be sure you look at the route and conditions on the way up the lifts.
