Drop Dead Gorgeous. Despite being inbounds of the ski resort this trail really feels out there. With the vertignous walls of Bec des Rosses, Mt Gele and the 3 finger couloirs above you with Mt Fort in the distance you'll feel very out of bounds. Taking in the beautifully positioned Cabane Mt Fort this trail delivers Big Mountain goodness.

Description

Picking up an exposed trail that traverses a ridge between Attelas and La Chaux, don't be intimidated. This section is uncharacteristic of the overall technical nature and is short. You'll gently descend past some wonderful little lakes which beg for landscape photos. Slow technical but not exposed trail takes you to Cabane Mt Fort. Stunning! A mix of fast open trails that take you into the 'Meltwater' trails. While not overly technical but the combination of ridiculous geographic features and glaciated backdrop makes for a memorable experience.

Difficult

Mostly stable trail tread with some variability featuring larger and more unavoidable obstacles that may include, but not be limited to: bigger stones, roots, steps, and narrow curves. Compared to lower intermediate, technical difficulty is more advanced and grades of slopes are steeper. Ideal for upper intermediate riders.

Château - Crie (Jackass)

A mythical descent that should strike fear or excitement into any rider. Very long, very steep, very technical and very exposed. Not for the faint hearted or those with a fear of heights.
