Fantastic route, steep skiing in the couloir, relatively long approach on an almost flat terrain and a few nice and long 25° slopes. Rarely visited. 4WD car is highly recommended to get a little higher and skip 300/400 meters elevation gain. This tour was meant to get to the top of Punta NE - Corni Bruciati, however a late start and a slow pace stopped us at the last basin, which is beautiful and it is worth the ascent of the first steep couloir. Ropes and crampons may be required to get to the summit depending on snow conditions.
