Ski Touring Severe
This line requires some effort on your way up, but it will give you a great taste of Monte Rosa higher range. It is a steep couloir that starts from a rocky ridge, it descend down into a flat slope that ends on a very big cliff. Ski on the right to avoid it and enter the Balma. The line itself is quite easy but you need a good knowledge of high mountains and steep skiing. on your way up you'll be on a glacier and crevasses could be open. Good snow conditions are necessary for this run
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
