The skiing is spectacular straight from the lift. Almost immediately after starting on the Plan piste head off to the left and ski the great open terrain heading for the valley floor. Half way down make sure to take care and select the correct couloir that will lead you through the rock band and safely back to the Santons piste.
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
In the high mountains or remote conditions, all individuals must be completely autonomous in every situation.
