Col du Brevent
Backcountry Skiing Route
Details
0.32 mi

A big couloir taking you back to the resort, well worth the extra work needed to hike.
Where the Charles-Bozon piste heads right at some small cliffs at c.2450 metres, branch off left and follow bowls and ridges to an awkward step. Scuttle down this and head right. Side step up right to find the entrance to the Faux Col. Continue under a small summit, then bear right into a vague couloir which becomes the Col du Brévent. The couloir starts softly then steepens as it traverses right to find the exit couloir and back to the piste. Like most of these lines there is avalanche risk, but more significantly this line overhangs a Blue piste... take great caution not to trigger anything here. Written by Charlie Boscoe
