The Domes Map

This is a fun, mellow, rolling bowl, ski tour. The views, the way along the ridge from the Breche du Contade, and some of the bowl's side options, are the highlights. It is a great option to take side laps and ski couloirs that line the east and west sides of this route. A full day of adventure can eaisly be found in this zone.
