A glorious couloir and technically the easiest of the Prorel’s couloirs. To cap it off it transitions into some fantastic tree skiing.
With everything from mellow bowls to steep couloirs, there is something for every freerider at Serre Chevalier. Here are 10 lines that shouldn't be missed!
Serre Chevalier is a fabulous resort, with reliable snow and terrain of all types facing all aspects. Its more famous neighbour, La Grave, gets the headlines but for many skiers Serre Chevalier is a better place to ski because it is slightly lower and less wild than La Grave. The skiing is still serious and takes you well away from the lifts and pistes, but there are no seracs or crevasses to worry about here like there are in La Grave.
The lines described here are all lift accessed and there's everything here from beginner lines through to steep, wild couloirs. Get stuck in!
And if you want to step it up a bit after skiing these lines, get to La Grave and work your way through our guidebook for the area -
