As you get to the last flat stretch of the Dou des Lanches chair you can see the Dou des Lanches black run to your left and the powder bowl and steep drop into into is the Dou des Lanches bowl. It is best to take this chair before dropping in so that you can spot your line or drops. There are a couple of couloirs near to the lift hut at the far side of the bowl or you can drop in between the chairlift pillars and enjoy the open face before riding out of the bottom back on to the black run. The top section is all pretty steep so get your turns in but try and keep some speed for getting back across to the Dou des Lanches run.
