Given the easy access this line gets tracked out quickly but the journey in itself is worthwhile. From the lift continue in the opposite direction from the piste and lift to a short traverse (sometimes rocky) to join the main bowl. Enjoy the wide open skiing and choose your own line, following the main valley the whole way and then joining the drainage line at the bottom of the valley that you follow to reach the Manchet lift.
Difficulty
