Couloir Moos North Map

This north facing couloir ending in steep wooded area is great on a snowy day and maintains great quality snow for a long time after a storm.

Description

From the middle station at Gabiet, descend the piste. At the first intersection turn right onto the Moos piste and at the first corner go straight out off-piste into the woods. As it widens, bear to the right onto a nice slope to reach the Moos couloir or Riccio couloir and then head down into the valley.
