The conditions on the North face of Col du Plan has been really good this year. Looks more like a skiing piste with all this tracks…thanks to Andreas & company for opening it for the season few days earlier!

You enter it from the top of the Grands Envers run. I can recommend starting the run from here because you get more skiing then by starting from the real col.

You will need two 60m ropes for the rappel down to the exit couloir.

The exit couloir is beautiful, steep and narrow.
