From the arrival of the cable car (Funifor Indren) traverse to the right heading east for five minutes to reach the arrival of the old Punta Indren cable car station. Go up behind it to reach the Bors side. A diagonal slope leads to a wide valley. Keep skiing in the middle of the valley, leaving the Balma classic on the right and enter into a large gully. Traverse to the left, near an obvious rocky buttress (Dente Bors with an old pylon). Look for a short and narrow couloir which allows access to the wide slope below. At the bottom of the slope rejoin the Balma classic.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
Little chance of being seen or helped in case of an accident.
