Sector: Le Diable
A noteworthy lift for advanced-ability riders, who will appreciate the access it provides to the classic Vallons du Diable & Rachas off-piste routes; as well as for competent novices, who can share in the buzz of this high & wild terrain yet bypass the steepest sections of the served
Super Diable slope, and/or reach the sector interchange hub at
Toura 2600 via a blue-graded link route.
The lift departs from
Le Diable 2400, and is based just below the terrace level of the
Diable au Coeur bar/restaurant.
The journey up takes you straight up the line of the steep and reliably snow-sure
Super Diable slope, giving you a perfect opportunity to check out the lie of the land if you're planning to tackle that route.
On Arrival: at the top, dismount straight ahead via the steepish off-ramp and U-turn to the right on to the reasonably wide flat crest at the start of the pistes; this area is just below the summit of the Tête Moute, the most important peak in this sector of the domain.
The
Super Diable piste starts directly down the fall-line; the blue-graded variation and the link route towards Toura 2600 are also reached down this shared start a little and then off to the skier's right on the contour-line, swinging across under the line of the lift.
