Ski outEasy access, somewhat gnarly line off the top of the Cheferie chairlift through a rock band back to the Grive blue piste that links the top of the Legends chair with the bottom of the Tougnete 2 chair.
Super easy access from the top of the Cheferie chairlift. Follow the piste, as if heading back to Meribel to the intersection of the Choucas and Buse pistes.
You can scope your line from the top of the Legends chair before dropping down to take the Cheferie chair and then take a second (and third) look as you ride the chair to the top. Be sure to scope your line very carefully as you won't want to take a wrong turn.

///capful.spearhead.luminousNo special tech required but TSP are essential as this face will slide in the right conditions.
This short but sweet ride down through the rock band is very satisfying. There is some technical skiing and you will have an audience.
The line itself is not too gnarly but pick your moment with care. This NNE face is prone to sloughs and slides.
This line may not produce the most awe inspiring views but my heart always skips a beat when I ignore the cliff warning signs.

Looking back up the line. From the drop in track left and pick your couloir. You can scope your line as you ride up on the Cheferie chair which is visible top right in the photo.
