Les Portelle's front chairlift line
Backcountry Skiing Route
Details
0.45 mi
529 ft
A nice line where a good walk is required with a short section of steep skiing.
A lot of chairlifts go to this line located in the Les Portelles area. Instead of going to the green slope "Megaverda" turn left and hike the face in front of you. The walk is short but not easy due to the steepness, in case of powder snow this can take up to 45 minutes. The line is pretty steep (average of 45 degrees) so good skills are important in this area. Rocks are present in this line but the snow cover is often good due to the north facing aspect, and the high altitude. Avalanche risk is pretty important due the steepness throughout the line, good navigation is important due to the rocks in the middle of the line where a fall would hurt a lot. The line finishes on the green piste "Megaverda" which leads back to "La Coma" ski area. Written by Kevin Blanc
