In short: Better piste connectivity creating greater variety of routes/ circuits with easier access back to the nursery area and apartments.
For those of you that are regular visitors to Drouzin Le Mont ski Resort – its perched on the Col du Corbier between Morzine and Chatel, you will know that last year more snow cannons were installed on the lower slopes and a hands free ski pass system was introduced.
Improvements have continued with better piste connectivity and greater variety of routes; in fact creating two figure of eight circuits, one blue and the other red.
A previously little used piste connecting from the top of the Teleski du Col / Violette run to the bottom of Teleski La Frasse and then the bottom of Teleski Le Muret / Cheveuil run has been renovated (see piste map). This piste now gives good beginners and basic intermediate skiers some great practice runs with the option to very easily pick up the main chair lift to the middle station and the Teleski La Frasse lift for use of the Frasse a short and enjoyable blue run.
The other development is to the re-sloping of a short section of the green run, this will make the middle section from the top of the bottom chair lift (Telesiege Drouzin) steeper and remove the short almost flat section (marked as a red box on piste map); this will give easier access to the black (Lys run) and Chamois and Lievre red runs.
These developments will give those of us that need to be back at the nursery area or apartments within a relatively short time and those younger snow hounds that have to check in with their elders, the opportunity to make the most of ski time and to spend some quality times together enjoying the whole of Drouzin Le Mont resort and the Col du Corbier.
For more details, explanations, improvements and developments of pistes at Drouzin Le Mont for 2011 Season; please see the piste map and directions below. I have used the full piste names rather than just the piste letters. Please see the amended index.
Combine the renovated piste and the re-sloping at Drouzin le Mont and it provides a fine blue circuit starting from the top Teleski du Col, down to the main chair lift (Telesiege Drouzin), up to the second chair (Telesiege des Carres) to the top and down the either blue (Abondance or Droline) to the green then the blue (Marmotte) down to the top of the Teleski du col, along the renovated blue to the bottom of Teleski La Frasse up the Frasse draglift and back down to the bottom chair lift (Telesiege Drouzin) at the bottom of the nursery area.
The level of challenge can be increased by taking the reds down (Carres, Lievre, Chamoise or even the Black – Lys) instead of the stopping at the bottom end Teleski La Frasse, carrying on down to the bottom of Cheveuil and the Teleski Le Muret
