Mont grange la chapelle line Map

Another long access line where a hike is needed from the top of "La Combe" ski lift. Hike take about 1 hour and half to 2 hours and skins are great help, follow the "Mont Grange Sunny Line" to go up and turn left into the gully 100 meters below the summit. Entrance is really steep and required very good skiing skills, as mistakes can make you fall for more than 100 meters. The snow cover is often good due to the face exposure and the high altitude of the line. Due to the hiking time needed a good weather window is needed before heading in. Avalanche risk is pretty important into the line as good amount of snow can be found here. The lower section loses some its steepness and the line finishes on "La Combe's Steep Line" which leads back to blue slope "Hermine" which gives access to the Cret beni ski area.
