Description

A long access line with a walk required from the "Les Portelles" lift area.

Follow "Pic d'Arcalis's left side line"; the walk is not easy and you will need to hike for around 1 hour .

Continue straight after the "Pic d'Arcalis" until the last peak of this mountain; this adds about 45 minutes to reach this other part of the mountain.

Due to the time of the hike a good weather window is needed as all the lines in this area.

As soon as the top of last right ridge take into the gully into your right as main guide and line, remember "Pic 'dArcalis" crossing part can be often wet or frozen what make it difficult.

The line gets some good amount of snow fall and East face can make the snow really unstable, the line is really steep until the end of the narrow gully where heavy steep skiing skills are needed.

Avalanche risks are pretty important into this area of the mountain due to high steepness.

The line finishes on the green piste "Megaverda" which leads back to "La Coma" ski area.
