Description

From here, keep to the right flank for three-quarters of the way down the face to avoid areas exposed to the numerous avalanches that descend from the Pointe de Replan.

The descent
On descent, you can head directly S towards Les Ordons and Villiaz de Combafou, following the ruisseau des Jorats on the E flank. (Two short woodland crossings between clearings). Cross the D328 and follow the clearings along the stream to Combafou.
It’s also a good idea to climb up to Char des Quais from Col de la basse to avoid the crossings.

Comments
Low gradient, but good, time-consuming traverses.
Gently sloping all the way up, this is one of the safest places to go out in avalanche conditions.
An easy early-season run, ideal for testing out equipment or for beginners, it’s also a very pleasant route on snowshoes.
Do not venture below the very exposed slopes (E side) of the Pointe de Replan.
