Details

The “Cirque de Catogne” is the most easterly of the areas accessible from the Chamonix Valley ski lifts. In order to make the most of these lovely, wooded slopes, we recommend that you continue the descent down to Châtelard.

The “Arolette” (2338 m) is a little summit overlooking the “Jeurs” side of “Le Tour”.

Combining its North Couloir with the “Jeurs” bowl gives 600 m of fabulous skiing!

Quite complex
