From the lift station, head through the Vallons and to the shoulder at the top of the couloirs. Head down and pick up the main couloir through a tight rocky section which can be tricky depending on the snow cover. At the end of the couloir, re-join the main classic route / variations.

An alternative start is possible / shown from the top of the old disused Domes / first Trifides drag lift, taking in an additional couloir. To access this, just below the top of the drag lift, head to the obvious crossing point in the ridge. Climb up a few metres towards a peak with slightly red coloured rock. Go over a small hump to get to the entrance of the couloir.
