High altitude couloir skiing
Ski Touring Severe
this couloir is a very aesthetic line that will give an amazing view all over Valsesia and Gressoney.
From Indren point directly to Punta Giordani. This couloir starts few meters under the top of the peak, just ski under the top for 10 meters then turn left to enter the line. At the end often is required to rappel to exit the line (25m). Otherwise you could bypass this staying all to the left right above the big final cliffs. You should be able to traverse and find an easier spot to ski down without rappelling.
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
