Skiing with an explosive feeling
The energy here is palpable - you can feel the explosive vibe, just like the ancient volcano that lends this slope its name. Starting at 1,922 metres, the slope quickly turns technical, with a series of steep walls and gradients reaching up to 58%. All the while, the breathtaking, untamed panorama of Cima Undici and Cima Dodici serves as your constant companion. Towards the end, the slope softens, guiding you smoothly back to the village of Pozza.
