Punta Fenilia Map

Directly from the top station of the chairlift the alpine reality starts right away. Steep and various terrain with some scrambling leads to the top of the Punta Fenilia with an awesome view on the Gran Paradiso. This tour can be done often long in the season (after the closure of the Lifts) with skis on feet from the valley. Attention the actual GPX track shows the tour from the valley !
