I collect couloirs. Unfortunately I’m collecting more in a Google Docs spreadsheet than I am with my skis at the moment. So in an effort to push myself to go out and do more of them, here’s the spreadsheet – a mix from lift served, easy and safe, to long tours in, steep and dangerous.
This list doesn’t contain any from La Grave, one of my favourite spots. I recommend L’Alpe D’Huez Hors Pistes (English and French; also covers La Grave and Les 2 Alpes) if you’re interested.
What’s your favorite? Let me know what you think I’m missing, or if you know a good guide for couloir routes anywhere in Switzerland.
