Description

An easy shortcut joining the red slope "Les combes" into the lower part, this is not steep but it is between 2 ridges so care needs to be taken.

Avalanches can come from the right ridge as this ridge is much higher than the left one.

Steepness won't be a huge problem as the area is like a red slope in steepness and snow cover is often good as the line is at around 1800 meters.

The traverse is not complicated but quite hidden from the slopes, line is optional as other part can be skiing but this is giving you a good help for some navigation, unless some trees not any other hazards should be present.

Line will join back to red slope "Les Combes" into the flat part often busy in term of traffic, bringing you back to the "Les Combes" and "Cornebois" chairlifts, remember that snow can be frozen due the exposure of the face in case of important sun exposure.
