Description

Nice off-piste cutting under the Mont Vallon Lift.

Rocky under the surface so only attempt in good snow.

Pretty open but there are a few boulders so look ahead and pick your line. Good to sight the route from the lift and also from the Combe du Vallon piste below to make sure snow cover is good all the way down.

The top is blind from Campagnol (This makes it not too busy). As Campagnol turns left, after the narrow zig zag section at the top, drop off to the left and aim for the lift support below you. Steepest at the beginning then mellows out into a bowl.

Pass in front of the lift support and keep your height over the rise until you can sight your line to rejoin Combe du Vallon.

If you get it right you'll find a nice little natural pipe at the end just before rejoining the piste.
