This is an easily accessed line. From "La Capa" lift take a left and hike until the top of "Pic de la Capa's" summit, which takes about 10-15 minutes to the top. The line is about 45 degrees all along the face of the mountain and this line gets a lot of sun (It faces East) so make sure good weather conditions are present before heading here as a lack of snow and/or a good base can make things dangerous. The higher part is well exposed to the wind and avalanche risks as well. The line finishes on the red piste "La Tossa (Arinsal)"; turn right before the arête with the forest part which leads back to the main area of Arinsal ski area.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
Away from help but easily accessed.
