When skiing down the black Corblanches piste you have to keep to a cat track width path at the top. When it opens up keep skiers right on the side of the piste and head towards the trees.

Description

The trees narrow and if you keep heading right there is an open slope – you can look across a lake towards the Airon lift to your right. There a number of points you can access this slope but don’t go in too high as there are rock bands – the lower you go the less risky it is.

Head down the short but open slope and then head left and back through the trees to the bottom of Oasis drag lift.
