This line follows the normal route to reach Lyskamm Orientale. From Indren follow the trace to Colle del Lys and then point to the massive ridge that runs to the top of Lyskamm. The ridge itself is very aesthetic but quite dangerous due to the high winds that often creates unstable cornices that can collapse while walking nearby.
Ski down from the same line you climbed.
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
