Description

From the parking in the village head to the NW end of the village and pick up a track that leads north ish, it crosses the torrent de Chapelle and follows a summer footpath into the bois du Chatellard. Keep climbing through the trees and towards the tete de clot Lapierre. As you come up to the Tete there is a small col that you aim for, this is the start of the couloir.

Descent 

Ski the couloir, at the bottom head skiers left (NW) as soon as you can. When you run out of steam put your skins back on and ski up the valley floor NW until it starts to open up. Here turn SE and climb to Collet du Pelvas (small refuge). Back to skiing and its back down into the bois du Chatellard and then down to the parking.
