Off the top of Aiguille Percée chairlift, turn left and start traversing from behind the Sécurité des Pistes hut. Work your way down the ridge towards the first bowl on Vallon de la Sachette. Traverse round to the left keeping as high as you can, there are usually some tracks here to follow. Observe the snowpack on the mountain above as this frequently drops onto this slope. This will bring you out at the top of the SE facing slope looking towards the Aiguille Percée chairlift.
