The trip to the top of Sainte Foy's king
Ski Touring Moderate
From the top of the Aiguille chair, hike or skin 45 minutes up the ridge to your left to the highest point of the Foglietta. There aren't any technical sections so it's a straight up bootpack!
Make sure you stay away from any cornices on the left, and be aware of the avalanche conditions on the slope to your right. The view from the top (and the ski routes down) make the bootpack more than worth the effort!
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Little chance of being seen or helped in case of an accident.
