What 3 Words entry point
///quaintly.eggshells.morallyWhat 3 Words exit point
///hacks.servicer.swamWhile this line is just a few turns away from the Dou des Lanches black run it's definitely not "edge of piste". You'll want the full FreeRide set up for this one. Transceiver, shovel, probe, helmet and goggles are a minimum.
Dropping off the ridge through one of the many chutes down to the piste below should make your pulse race.
There's something for everyone, from complex high stakes chutes through to less consequential lines.
Spectacular sunsets make this one of the most beautiful and romantic spots in the Trois Vallees. Perfect for FreeRide Lovers.
