The back side of Le Tour is legendary for its wide variety of tree runs, ranging from tight and challenging to fun and undemanding. The Tete de Balme four-man chairlift takes you right back to just above the tree line, allowing for quick and easy circuits.

Take the right-hand chair when arriving at Grands Montets mid-station (or ski down from L'Index) and head for the trees. A variety of routes down (and the occasional surprise!).

Cut right at track to make bottom chairlift, otherwise it's a long walk. If you reach Argentiere you know you've gone too far.

It's worth noting that you can only do this if there's enough snow, and it's for capable skiers only.
