Pointe de Nyon's north line Map

This is an easily accessed line as you turn right on top of Pointe chairlift. The line is steep and needs some good skills as we pass below a ridge and cross over a ridge mixing a north face and west facing later on. The line gets a lot of sun into the lower half so make sure the snow conditions are good and there's enough snow before heading in. Avalanche risk is pretty important below the ridge into the first part. One unusual thing to be aware of on this line is the change of snow conditions as you move round onto the west side where fresh can turn into frozen snow. The line finishes on the blue piste "Les Freux" which leads back to Nyon ski area.
