Descend a few metres from the cable car exit and head right to get in to the Meije Valley / Vallons de la Meije. The skiing is relatively steep but on a wide open slope before a narrower section leads to a flat section. Continue down to the bottom of the moraine and after another short flat section, follow your nose down a series of small bowls. At the first larch trees, head towards the right bank of the stream - but don't hang around here, there are big seracs high up that threaten the area. Continue down to the chalets at Chal Vachere. You continue down - always staying on the right bank of the stream - through a few exposed sections before reaching the Lauzette alpage and then finishing at the Romanche bridge.

You can also get back to the mid-station of the cable car through a long skiers left traverse near the Clot de la Calat. Later in the season you will not be able to reach the valley floor. There is a sign-posted route back to P1 which starts shortly after the flat section at the bottom of the big moraine at around 2350m.
