Backcountry Skiing Route

A very serious and wild series of couloirs down to the valley

An incredible journey to remember - and the scene of many rescues. A very wild and more direct line than the Chirouze through a series of exposed couloirs. These couloirs often end in waterfalls and cliffs requiring rappels or traverses out. A genuinely incredible setting for an adventure on skis. A number of rappels are usually equipped but take some slings. Skiing the route on-sight is very committing. Crampons and axe could be useful. Written by FATMAP Official
