Description
This couloir is for specialist only: it's far in the backcountry, really hard to locate and then difficult to ski in safe conditions.
This is a journey that will bring you into the most unknown valleys if Monte Rosa, places rarely visited by people.
You will skin up large valleys climb a couloir and then skin up again before reaching this line.
So you will need to be in a excellent physical condition too.
The couloir itself is quite steep and narrow usually the snow could be wind affected and the very first meter could be rocky, so maybe a rappel could be needed (30m).
After the couloir you will enter the high Valley of Otro and you will have a great skiing journey.
