Yes, slope n°3 "Franco Berthod" in la Thuile. Very very steep at the beginning !

So no more steep slope than La Coil ? Except of low part Piste de I'Aigle.

I would say Le Col in Zinal is steeper than Les Crets in Grimentz.
There are 2 drawbacks with Les Crêts:
the steep part is very short, I'd say less than a half of Le Col, and the chairlift is TERRIBLY slow :wall:
