Get off the Quatre Termes lift, look left, and start up the hill toward the Breche du Contade. From the top, the couloir is relatively short, but the skiing underneath is super fun too, and there are many interesting options. Scope out the possibilities for the lower section when riding the lift up. See more details at www.couloirquest.com. The difficulty rating for this route uses the posted FATMAP criteria.
