Couloir du Petit Davin - Ecrins
Intro to steep skiing
The couloir du Petit Davin, located in the valley of the petit Tabuc, is just before its big brother, the couloir Davin.
Yet it has just the name of "petit", because it remains a beautiful enterprise, and above all an ideal exercise to learn the basics of skiing steep slopes.
