Vallaccia classic Map

From the top of Mottolino mountain (Valfin lift) ski on the ridge piste for 100 metres. Then get out the groomed piste and start descending the slope towards east and the evident valley called Vallaccia. There will be different change of steepness, be aware of avalanche danger before every steep area. Keep skiing down with no particular obligation but always heading in direction of the small village on the bottom. The last 150 vertical mt are much steeper, around 35 degrees. Once on the flat keep the upper left side not to end up pushing too much. Then follow the easy skiable street til the main road who connect Livigno and Bormio. Once on the asphalt consider to call a taxi to get back to the resort or wait for a public bus who runs every one and half hour.
