Description
From the Safety of the top of Cuboré chairlift, ski traverse on the east side slope of Vorlaz, until you get to the bottom of the narrow couloir.
Approximately midsection of the Vorlaz.
Bootpack approximately 100 meters, be careful here as exposure is considerable.
Ski traverse again towards the ridge that leads to the north face of the mountain, this section is easy as well as the boot pack that leads to the top.
The ski down is quite easy but rewarding as the north aspect provides great snow.
This is great especially when everything else in Avoriaz is tracked, which happens fast.
Also, all the north bowl of Vorlaz leads to a red run so there is no risk to get lost.
