Freeride Skiing Difficult
This is a popular freeride skiing route which is generally considered to be difficult. It's extremely remote, it features medium exposure (e2) and is typically done between January and April. From a low point of 2.5 km to the maximum altitude of 2.9 km, the route covers 1.3 km, 3 vertical metres of ascent and 406 vertical metres of descent. It's graded 2.3 and Labande grade 3. You'll need skins to complete it safely.
You have to be mindful about the massive cliffs skiers' left, but otherwise it's not too difficult. The initial entrance is a bit narrow and quite rocky, but the rest of the run widens up significantly
