Easy route from Roche de Mio
Freeride Skiing Moderate
From Roche de Mio, follow the SW ridge that descends to a wide pass (2612m). From the pass, traverse the north slope of Le Tougne while gaining in altitude slightly. You'll reach a second pass between le Tougne and le Roc des Blanchets. From here you can ski down a very pretty bowl bordered on the left by west-facing slopes (sometimes unstable) and on the right by the rocky ridge of Les Arriérés. You can ski to the La Rossa chairlift by taking a path that crosses under the southern extremity of the Arriérés ridge. There's a barn on the left side of the comb around 2200m, that's when to look for the exit on the right side.
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
