Itinerary description

This goes from the top of the TK1 button lift (the tow lift at the furthest left (east) of the Arcalis Vallnord ski resort) and ends on the road just below Arcalis. You need to walk back along the road, through the tunnel, to get to the resort. This route is outside the resort boundry, you should be carrying full ski touring safety gear.
We found rocks and ice high up, so retreated from our high point to find better snow. With deeper snow cover, you could go higher. Skiing down you can go further right. However, don't be tempted to go too far to skier's right on the descent and to drop too low. You do not want to miss the road and get caught up in the Riu de Tristaina valley.
