Ski outSuper easy access short couloir. Just one or two pole pushes from the piste. If it’s tracked out, then over the knoll to riders left offers another couple of lines, these are marginally steeper and have a couple of rock features and trees that you’ll want to be aware of before dropping.
From the top of the Pralong chair, double back on the blue Pralong piste, staying riders left. A pisteurs hut and WC hut will appear on your right, just past the WC head off piste to the right and you’re at the drop in.
What 3 Words entry point
///dugouts.tacky.competentlyWhat 3 Words exit point
///earthworms.informative.huntressTransceiver Shovel & Probe and a good understanding of the avalanche level / risk is pretty much all you need. However for the alternative lines mentioned above you may want to look first from the Pralong-Suisses piste below at the features and hazards as you’re pretty much blind at the drop-in.
When the conditions are good you can see the whole line from the top and there are no obstacles so you can really let things flow.
The main couloir is certainly not high on the Gnar bar but the alternative line closest to the couloir requires fall line riding with a couple of large rocks and trees to navigate, this defo elevates from a 4 to a 5+.
There's a nice view across the valley toward Courchevel 1650, with the spines of the Dent Du Villard centre field.

Always a treat finding this line without tracks in it en route to the Swiss chair.
