What 3 Words entry point

///strollers.marines.encounteredNo specialist tech required but remember, even though you are only a few hundred metres from the piste you are technically off piste so the usual rules apply. No TSP. No party.
Just avoiding a busy piste is reason enough to put a smile on your face but this line delivers plenty of stoke in its own right.
The line is under 30 degrees and there are few, if any, obstacles of note to worry about.
You'll get exactly the same views from the Alouette piste but taking the path less traveled is a lifestyle choice, plus you'll provide some worthwhile entertainment for those queuing at the Côte Brune chairlift.
