From the top of the Combe Folle chairlift hike up the ridge to the Pointe du Lavachet which you traverse on the left side and shortly after this you will find the start of the first couloir. 30 meters beyond this entrance you will find the second couloir entrance slightly wider and not as steep. Ski the line of your choice and once you exit tend slightly left as you ski varied terrain and head back to Tignes Le Lac.

Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.

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.
