Couloir de la Becca


This is short and sweet - but carries medium avalanche risk. Its a great way to make a 3 valleys liason off piste. From the top of the Becca chair (les menuires) climb the slope dead ahead moving diagonally up to the right. About 5 mins later you will gain the ridge and look straight down the couloir into Meribel. The first 30m are a bit steep, but after that it opens out into a massive flank which allows a lot of traffic before its tracked out. At the bottom you can pick up the mount vallon chair which gives access to some other nice options.
