Val Cantone classic Map

From top of the Federia chairlift follow the "Federista Sinastra" piste for 300 metres, then head left off the piste towards the meteorological instruments, then climb up easily to the top of the small hill by walking or sidestepping for around 10 minutes. From here traverse towards Pizzo Cantone then drop left and choose the less steep slopes leading into the main valley, staying skiers right of the bottom of the valley. Once the trees are getting more and more dense head towards the evident valley created by the river and follow it carefully, paying attention to rocks and steeper parts. Keep skiing out straight towards the road and get a bus back to town.
