For the return you can ski down along the same route.

For the expert skiers it is also possible, staying 50m left from the cliff, to descend a great couloir up to 35° of inclination.

You will arrive at Forcella Giau, then take the old road to Peziè de Parù.

How to reach the starting point From Cortina, take the road towards Falzarego Pass.
