20 ski descent of the Dent de Crolles. The mountain is fantastic and fascinating. Accessible, 20 minutes from the valley. Iconic due to the way it guards the southern flanc off the Chartreuse chain.

It's been a long time since I've skied from the summit of the Dent, 2015 was the last time I think but maybe I lost the appetite for NFZ (no fall zones) as the Americans call them.

Parked at the Salt Depot and took the la Gorgette trail just after the bridge following a well made snowshoe track that came from St Pancrasse up to the winter carpark at 1220 meters.

After Chapp's report on skitour (Virgule) I had no intention of going to Pas d'Oeille today but the prairie below the Dent de Crolleswas tempting. 15cm of fresh snow on a hard base.

Iconic summit dominating the Gresivaudan valley and the town of Crolles. Steep skiing with exposure adding to the mix.From the winter parking (1220 meters - 1410m later in the spring).

ClimbFollow the forest trail that leads to the Col de la Saulce. At 1170 meters do not take the path that continues to the right but continue North.

One of the major Belledonne couloirs. Around 600 meters of skiing although never too steep. A classic line.I did the following tour Oule -> Clarans -> Moretan -> Pertuis.
