A legendary couloir known to be popular with the local ski patrol, for expert skiers only.
Freeride Skiing Severe
This couloir is very simple to access from Avoriaz but is prone to avalanches due to its south facing orientation.
Take the Chavennette chairlift from the Fornet bowl and, once at the top, climb up to the ridge directly in front of you (approximately 20m). The entrance to the couloir is very obvious at the top. You can even request information about the conditions in the couloir at the ski patrol's just as you get off the chairlift.
This descent begins quite steeply and is narrow most of the way down - it is recommended for expert skiers only. After you have dropped about 200m you will be in the middle of a plain that eventually joins the piste to the Grand Paradis where you can return to Avoriaz via a couple of lifts.
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
