Bielti 49 Map

Almost at the end of the Weisse Perle run (51) there is a little sign to the right for this short yellow run. You drop off the side of the piste and immediately enter a short steep gully. Then cross over a little road, and roll up onto a ridge. The pitch then drops away again onto a steeper short bump pitch, before flattening off again, and veering to the left. This open section is great, varied and you can ski wherever you want. The pitch then drops into the trees, where you pick your way down, over fences, tree roots and rocks. The slope then opens out again on a brief face, with rollers to the right, and more even terrain to the left. You will then hit a track, letting you catch your breath, and dropping you out at the Zum See restaurant.
