Details

Another fantastic run, not as steep as its neighbour.

A series of abseils for about 100 m lead through a zone of rocks before you can access the couloir and put on your skis.

The big upper slope faces west and transforms quickly.

Snow slides are frequent.

Again the quality of the descent depends on a good assessment of conditions.

In hard-pack conditions the danger on this type of slope is increased tenfold.

The steepest section is 45° for 100 m in the upper part, with the rest being 40°.

Quite simple
