Variante von Val Thorens nach Meribel

15.9 km
3:59 h

1,838 m
Bei der Bergstation des Sesselliftes COL einen Kurzen Aufstieg zum Col de Gebroulaz danach kann man einen der Gipfel noch mttnehmen (Achtung das ist eine Kraxelei). Abfellen und dann über einen wunderschönen Gletscher mit beindruckenden Verwerfungen (Auchtung Spalten!!) in das Tal des "Le Doron des Allues" bis zum Refuge de Saut. von da an wird es etwas anstrengender, weil man bis hinaus zum "Lac de Tueda" schieben muss. Trotz allem eine sehr lohnende Tour um ein wenig der Masse zu entfliehen.

The combe of Constantine is located right next to that of the glattier, between the Tignes Lake and Tignes 1800. Its access is very simple and it has no particular difficulty. Be careful though the stability of the snowpack !!!

The glattier is a superb combe, very easy to access and very easy to ski, located between the lake and 1800. The departure is at the Chaudannes chairlift arrival station and the end leads to the Glattier tunnel. The return to the slopes is done by the shuttle linking Tignes Lake to Tignes 1800.

The round back is a huge rock separating the valley of the Sache Plateau du Marais. It offers superb slopes to devour on the slope opening on this plateau of the Marais. These slopes can be advantageously extended by the corridor of the Chimney and the Forest of Boisses until the Gondola.

The valley of the Sache is a very popular route of Tignes because of its length and its ease, as well of access as of course. I propose here a version a little longer and a little more technical with the passage in the gorges of Sache and forest Brévières.
