The lovers of Alpe d'Huez will tell you that you
MUST ski the Perrins.

Enter a life-size canvas, close to the ice waterfalls which is, undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful routes in the Grande Massif.

You start your adventure at an altitude of 2800m.
The beginning of the route is smooth as you ski towards the lakes of Middle and Fare. Then you open your eyes wide! The valley is on one side and the Grandes Rousses glacier on the other.
The highlight of the show are the cliffs dressed in ice waterfalls.
Pour adultes.
This trip corresponds to the level: Pack Ride - intermediate
