I kind of hoped against evidence to find better ski conditions.

Afternoon tour with Tot to the Canaple. We were looking for something safe (it was risk 3 > 1600m) and this fits the bill.

From the Pont des Cottaves (1111m) follow a trail on the right bank of the river to a clearing at 1150m (bottom of an old chair lift) then turn slightly SW to follow a ski piste that crosses the Charm

After a bit of XC skiing I toured from the Col de Porte pistes to the bottom drag then continued down the path at the end.
