From the arrival point of the Super-Châtel gondola lift, follow the footpath towards Lac de Conche. The first part of the route is on the footpath as far as the Chalet Neuf ski lift junction.

Description

The route then continues through the forest to the top of the ski lift. Then turn right to the top of the ski lift.
At the top, you can enjoy one of the finest views in the valley of the majestic "Dents du Midi". The descent is via the blue "Le Lac" trail to the left of the ski lifts.
With only 200 m of D+ and a low percentage of ascent, most of which is on groomed piste, this route is ideal for beginners to ski touring.
The last descent must be made before 4.30pm.
Easy touring.
