An easy line between the red slope "Les Rochassons" and mostly under the "Plaine dranse" chairlift, this is a short cut between 2 slopes. Avalanche risk is quite low but sections of the line are quite steep so vigilance is required. The area is often tracked as it is easy access. Remember to stay under the chairlift; going too far right the right is more hazardous due to a little river in the middle of the line. Get back to the red slope "Les Rochassons", giving you back access to the "Cornebois" chairlift.
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
Close to help in case of emergency.
