Description
To reach this short but steep and exciting line, take the Pré la Joux chairlift, followed by the Combes chairlift.
At the top, ski down the piste to your right a short way until you are above Combe d'en Haut and traverse out as high as you can until you are below the couloir.
Ascend the couloir on foot to reach the summit of the Tête du Géant, the Giant's Head.
Descend by the same route.
The snow here often remains in pristine condition long after a snow fall due to its northerly aspect.
