Introduction

One of the most classic winter ski mountaineering routes on wide slopes in bright sunshine. The varying gradient and exposure of the slopes makes for a pleasant descent.

Description

From the end of the road, go up a steep section until you come to a wide plain with a sports field. Cross the plain and begin to climb the wide slopes without a prescribed path to reach the ridge to the left of the summit. Climb up the ridge until you reach the antecedent, descend slightly along the crest and then climb back up to the summit cross. If the snow is well bonded, it is possible to cross below the summit, saving the short descent.

Punta Leysser

Salita ad una cima sempre bella, traccia in salita su neve ben assestata e stessa condizione trovata anche nei pendii di discesa. Tempo che cambiava repentinamente durante la mattinata rendendo scarsa la visibilità durante la discesa. Panorama purtroppo inesistente per la copertura del cielo. Seconda gita scialpinistica in assoluto con risultato sicuramente positivo.
