"We think that the best way to anticipate and minimize risk is to help each rider manage his own safety as best he can, so that he doesn't represent a danger for others in this off-piste area. [...]
This why our "patrouilleur" is at your disposal. He's your key contact person for information on the site. Ask him as many question as you like, that's what he's there for.
His advice will help you optimize your choices. You'll find him in the wooden chalet across from the cable-car departure station

Before you set out, it is up to you to decide whether the state of the snow, weather conditions and difficulty of the route you have chosen correspond to your ability and fitness.
|
|
You must take full responsibility for deciding whether you can set out without endangering yourself or others. You are consequently directly responsible for any accident to any person or equipment that may occur involving you or third parties.

Once on the glacier, you must only ski on signposted runs.
If you leave the supervised area you run severe risks (falling into a crevasse, for instance) for which we cannot be held responsible.
If you volountary ski out of the supervised aera, do not forget to join the Refuge Chancel throw the Col du Lac.

 |
Read bulletin boards at the lift stations, for messages regarding weather and snow conditions, and avalanche risks.
|
|
For alternative routes and couloir skiing consult our
guidebooks.
Access routes are complex and dangerous. Avoid off-piste routes on the glacier in misty weather.
|
|
Pay attention to lift timetables and the weather. You are 3200 metres above sea level and the weather may change very abruptly.

The slope patrollers do not check the Vallons and Chancel runs at nightfall.
