Ski Touring Difficult
This is a popular ski touring route which is generally considered to be difficult. It's remote, it features medium exposure (e2) and is typically done between January and April. From a low point of 691 m to the maximum altitude of 4 km, the route covers 587 km, 29517 vertical metres of ascent and 29386 vertical metres of descent. You'll need rope, skins, ice axe, crampons and glacier kit to complete it safely.
Added in a couple of summits along the way and had to take some plan b routes because of lack of snow. Interesting and fairly logical way, can be done much faster esp if using staffed huts/hotels.
