Be careful of hard snow, since there is a danger of sliding into the river. Length Ascent: 0m Descent: 1000m fom Col Pers to Pont St Charles. Getting there From Fornet take the lifts to Col d’Iseran, then the chairlift to the Pissaillas glacier and then the skilift des Montets. |

| Itinerary From the top of the lifts turn left, ski down the piste for a few hundred meters and then traverse rightwards (north) for the Col Pers. Pass the rope at the top of the Col and descend into the valley below. From here there are three alternatives: 1) the classic itinerary which takes you down the entire valley, past Gorges de Malpasset, to Pont St Charles. The cross country piste leads back to Fornet. 2) if there isn't much snow on the lower section and you find a sign "Gorges infranchissables", then follow the classic itinerary to 2700m altitude and traverse upwards to the left, thus going around the hill which leads to Pont St. Charles. 3) keep to the left after the hill, traverse high beneath the rocks and ski down into il Vallonet. This is much steeper and more demanding. |
