Jeurs bowls Map

Enjoyable off-piste skiing but be aware of the avalanche risk in this sector. From the Tête de Balme go down and R in relation to the lift line then follow the back bowls through flowing terrain and narrow gullies. Don’t get too carried away and go too low as you will need to traverse back through the woods back to the bottom of theTete de Balme lift.
