This intermediate to advanced off-piste route is accessible via the Tovi\u00e8re lift. From the top of the lift, it&#8217;s a 30 minute boot pack along the ridge and up to the Mickey&#8217;s Ears couloir, so named because of the mouselike antennas at the top. The couloir is open but steep, 48 degrees to be precise, so the drop in is exhilarating and the snow is often fantastic due to the predominantly north facing aspect. Once through the couloir, you can ski down the Lavachet Wall into Lavachet or down to La Daille. If you organise a heli-pick-up, you can also ski all the way down to the lake.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div id=\"attachment_6982\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[12225]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6982\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Guerlain Chicherit Off-Piste Skiing in Tignes\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-6982 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-100x100.jpg 100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/150;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6982\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Guerlain Chicherit Off-Piste Skiing in Tignes\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-6982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6982\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 J\u00e9r\u00e9my Pontin<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Guerlain Chicherit<\/h3>\n<p>Four times freeride world champion Guerlain Chicherit is such a legend in Tignes he has an off-piste ski route named after him!

This intermediate to advanced off-piste route is accessible via the Tovi\u00e8re lift. From the top of the lift, it&#8217;s a 30 minute boot pack along the ridge and up to the Mickey&#8217;s Ears couloir, so named because of the mouselike antennas at the top. The couloir is open but steep, 48 degrees to be precise, so the drop in is exhilarating and the snow is often fantastic due to the predominantly north facing aspect. Once through the couloir, you can ski down the Lavachet Wall into Lavachet or down to La Daille. If you organise a heli-pick-up, you can also ski all the way down to the lake.<\/p>\n<hr>\n[caption id=\"attachment_6982\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Guerlain Chicherit Off-Piste Skiing in Tignes\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-6982 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-100x100.jpg 100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/150;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Guerlain Chicherit Off-Piste Skiing in Tignes\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-6982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/tignes-off-piste-guerlain-chicherit-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> \u00a9 J\u00e9r\u00e9my Pontin[\/caption]\n<h3>Guerlain Chicherit<\/h3>\n<p>Four times freeride world champion Guerlain Chicherit is such a legend in Tignes he has an off-piste ski route named after him!

To access the run, head to the Palet area from Val Claret and take the Col des V\u00e9s chair up to the Col. The run tracks under the chair and dissects the Pramecou black piste. In Val Claret, there are a number of other good off-piste runs also accessible from the Col des V\u00e9s chair.

Accessible from the Grattalu (2700 m) chair, it drops 500 m down to the Grand Huit chair. There&#8217;s a bit of a climb from the chairlift up to a rocky outcrop and the start of the run. The classic couloir, which carries some avalanche risk in heavy snow, is the easier of the two couloirs and therefore the quickest to get tracked out.<\/p>\n<hr>\n[su_box]<br \/>\n<strong>Disclaimer<\/strong><br \/>\nOff-piste skiing is dangerous so you should always use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/directory\/categories\/off-piste-guiding?&#038;address=Tignes&#038;directory_radius=20\">qualified mountain guide or ski or snowboard instructor<\/a> when you head away from the marked runs.
