This route has easy access from the lifts and an aesthetic line line with good skiing at a pleasant gradient. Avoid on spring / hot afternoons due to avalanche risk. From the top of the chair, stay right of the Marmottons piste and choose your line down one of the gullies. Traverse back left when the terrain steepens for the safest route.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
In the high mountains or remote conditions, all individuals must be completely autonomous in every situation.
