19a the couloir, Saulire, 3 valleys


On Satuday I met up with my ski instructor friend Gaspard and his cousin and we went to play in the couloirs by Saulire. This one is called 19a - and is just by the top of the massive Saulire gondola. Turn right when you get out of the gondola at the top - walk past the signs saying "danger" and you will see the drop in. Its steep and narrow - but opens out about 100m down into some lovely slopes.

This is also the starting point for a great Via Ferrata (summertime only). It runs along the ridge to the highest point -taking in some rather airy towers. Grade D+
