Face N
A face to visit when the resort is closed.
From Aulian 1730 m, approach via the pistes to the foot of the base 2130 m, climb it from left to right sustained slope 55° for 20 m, then onto the intermediate section slope at 35° and head towards the ramp to the left of the spur descending from the summit, the slope steepens 50°/53° for 50 m (middle section). From there make an ascending traverse left/right to reach the ridge line then tip onto the left bank, climb a ramp dotted with dwarf pines and reach the wide upper slope that leads to the ridge to the right of the summit which is very close.
From the top of the middle section, it is possible to continue on the right bank to exit at the ridge to the left of the summit (not done).
If conditions allow, descend the north face following the route taken on the way up.
