This itinerary is a bit steeper than the Leisch canyon, but shorter. The entrance is not obvious due to high cliffs on all sides. It is possible to check the snow conditions from the middle of the gondola from Stafal to Gabiet by looking across to the left.
Description
From the dam on the Endre plain, follow the itinerary that takes you back to the middle station at Gabiet. Just after a short uphill section, go down to a gentle slope on the right (west) until you reach the summit of a little hill. Ski down, first left then immediately right to pass some cliffs, and finally back to the left to reach the entrance of the couloir (exposed traverse). Ski down the couloir towards the wooded area and join the Leisch canyon itinerary to finish.
