Powder in Orelle


We had wonderful end of season skiing this week. Fresh powder on several days. To make the most of it we went to the highest point in the 3 Valleys - Orelle. There are 2 superb descents from the top of the second lift. Either traverse right until the valley opens out on your left - almost any line goes from here. Just follow the valley until you end up back at the bottom lift. Alternately traverse left until you cross the ridge and drop (steeply) into a gully. This is more challenging but a superb mountain line. We went round several times until it was all tracked out and our smiles could not fit into our helmets any more :-) and it was time to head back to St Martin de Belleville for a beer
