Ski Information Advanced
Experts can hit the black run under the Chanrossa chairlift and then shoot under the Roc Mugnier chair, down to Courchevel's Fruit Junction to find out the true meaning of steep and deep!! Now you've got the taste, head for the Ugly Sisters - an infamous trio of couloirs, racing down from the Saulire summit.
