Bec des Rosses

The Bec des Rosses reaches an elevation of 3,223 meters and features steep slopes with grades between 55 and 60 degrees across its north face.

The mountain gained recognition in the 1990s when professional skiers began exploring its challenging terrain and establishing new descent routes through the steep faces.

The Bec des Rosses serves as the final stage of the Freeride World Tour, where international athletes demonstrate their skiing abilities on extreme terrain.

Access to the mountain requires a journey via the Col des Gentianes cable car, followed by careful navigation through marked paths to reach the base.

The north face contains multiple couloirs, including the Central and Dog Leg variants, presenting vertical drops that test the skills of expert winter sports athletes.
