Itinerary description
Lovely tour. Easy couloir to boot pack at the top and lovely easy angled slopes to ski down on the glacier.
However - this GPS line does not take the best descent. It works when there is plenty of snow, although it is steep. But we ended having to climb down through bushes and over rock steps. Not much fun. A better descent if snow is lean is to stay on skiers right.

Great route 😊. There was plenty of snow, so it was very easy to ski down Le Tour glacier. Ascent to col du Passon was in very good conditions as well
