Sector: Glacier
By far the best intermediate-level piste on the glacier, starting at the top of the
Puy-Salié T-bar tows (47 & 48); also served by the
Dôme Express funicular (54).
The uppermost section is quite easy, crossing the traversing route of a link-track from the
Lauze piste before picking up pace down the fall line on the broad and surprisingly steep Glacier de Mantel, giving a good workout in the thin air.
The Echine des Chèvres off-piste route is immediately to the skier's right on the far side of the boundary rope.
WARNING: this looks deceptively similar to the
Dôme piste, but it is an unpatrolled zone littered with crevasses and, therefore, you should enter it only when accompanied by a qualified local high-mountain guide.
The
Dôme maintains a consistently good slope angle, flowing out on to the lower section of the
Roche-Mantel piste. Traverse straight ahead to join that on the flat track towards the
Roche-Mantel chairlift (43); or, better still, swoop down to the skier's right to make the imperceptible transition on to the
Signal piste towards the
Signal chairlift (45), based at the lowest piste-accessible point on the glacier below.
