initiation into steep skiing?
Ski Touring Difficult
This line is the easiest of the couloirs that descend from the Testa Grigia. Although it's the easiest is quite difficult indeed, it could be a first approach to a good ski mountaineer that wants to try steep skiing. It's a remote itinerary far from lifts so you have to be completely autonomous. The slopes are wide and gentle at the beginning then you'll have to ski a steep couloir to access again ample slopes. Stay on the right and reach Hochene Stei, those are summer stables, and then reach the wood just above Gressoney La Trinitè.
Difficult
Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.
