Spring in the Dolomites is particularly attractive, with powder snow in the north gully with a transition to firn and then an espresso in the sun.
Ascent
From the parking lot, take the forest path (marker 5) into the valley in a south-westerly direction until you come to a hairpin bend. At this bend, leave the forest path and take a sharp left into the forest. This takes you to the left side of the valley, where the ascent continues in a south-westerly direction. From this point onwards, you cross the impressive north faces, still quite flat and leisurely, towards the head of the valley. From around 2000 m, the terrain becomes steeper until you reach the head of the valley. Only there does the steeper north gully, the destination of the ski tour, finally appear. The route then becomes steeper and steeper with numerous hairpin bends through the gully to the Roascharte. The conditions in the gully should be suitable (avalanche danger!). From there there is a good panoramic view before the most beautiful section of the tour begins, the descent. Despite it being spring, it can get quite chilly on the ascent as a large part of the tour runs in the shade of the north faces.
