Sector: Le Diable
The principal
Super Diable piste has a straightforward route: straight down!
It is a fast motorway-wide blast, with a high-end blue/red profile + a black-graded lower section; plus a recently remodelled & reclassified mid-section combined with a spur off to the skier's left which adds a blue-graded option to the route.
The entire route is usually well pisted, and the high sub-glacial altitude ensures that snow conditions are reliably good.
At the finish, exercise caution as you flow out on to the lower level of the busy sector interchange hub at
Le Diable 2400. Veering to the skier's left to link with the
Descente piste towards the
Vallons chairlift (22) is the best way to reach the main interchange level and onward links; otherwise, the
Super Diable chairlift (34) is an easy link just ahead-right.
Before being tamed as a pisted route, the
Super Diable was one of the most hyped off-piste descents in Europe; it continues to draw enthusiasts, especially for the access it provides to the nearby classic Vallons du Diable off-piste route.
To discover that, and many more exciting off-piste itineraries, always employ a qualified local mountain guide.
