Description
This run starts at the old Guglielmina refuge, now destroyed. You have to walk up towards a big col for about 15 minutes. You fatigue will be well rewarded since you will shred nice powder in a big bowl. Multiple lines are possible since the slope is very wide here.
Difficulty
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
Low Exposure (E1)
Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.
Remoteness
Away from help but easily accessed.
