Snow condition
The tour starts at the almost deserted La Jarjatte ski station in Devoluy, on the border between the Drome and Devoluy districts, where there is no snow on the southern slopes, but plenty of snow from the station westwards to the Aiguille du haut Bouffet.
Snow quality
In the north-west facing couloir of the Aiguille du h. Bouffet lies old, hard snow garnished with stones. After climbing to the summit, we decide on a pleasant and spring-like descent eastwards into the Vallon des Aiguilles and return to the ski station via the Crete des Aiguilles. On the last descent, the snow above the cloud cover is very wet, below it is winter and the snow is frozen. Both can be skied.
Risks
Everything is stable. In the afternoon, a layer a few centimeters thick softens in the sun and loses its grip.
Overall impression
The snow doesn't deserve much more than one star, but the Devoluy is fantastically beautiful and definitely worth the 3 euro eighty toll from Grenoble. The third star goes to the unbeatable mountain guide.
