Col du Lisey Couloir Map

This is very fun side adventure when sking off Le Caperette. From the lift, follow the Vallons piste down, then cut off left and traverse to the ridge. You can boot pack from there to the top of the couloir. Beware, the top of this couloir often gets windloaded and becomes an avalanche risk. So cut it from the top if unsure. At the bottom of the couloir ski out skiers right to the Col du Lisey. You can then ski back down to the Caperette lift! See more info and photos at www.couloirquest.com.
