"The Grand Couloir in Courchevel is often considered among the most difficult in Europe. Ski instructor and YouTuber Marius Quast took on this difficult run, featuring between around 2,067-2,297 feet of terrain with a vertical drop of 1,115 feet and an average gradient of around 55%. The steepest parts reach a gradient of up to 80-85%, making it one of the steepest lines in all of Les 3 Vallées."
"If you want to take on this run for yourself, you can access it via the Saulire cable car. It starts at an altitude of around 8,858 feet and required crossing a narrow ridge to access. There is no groomed entrance and no alternative routes, just down, and it tends to fill with deep moguls, churned-up tracks, and hard/icy sections throughout the day."
