Els Orriols gondola's line
Backcountry Skiing Route
Details
0.6 mi
0 ft
Steep terrain suitable only for expert skiers - there have been plenty of accidents here.
A really easy access line; just go under the "Els Orriols" gondolas. The line is pretty steep and the area under the gondola is totally wild with some rocks and a lot of trees about regardless of snow cover. The line gets a lot of sun (it faces East) so make sure there's enough snow before heading in. Avalanche risk is present but trees help a lot to keep things stable. Good steep skiing skills are needed. One unusual hazard to be aware of on this line is the road which needs to be crossed about 3 times and where skis need to be taken off. The line finishes at the bottom of "Els Orriols" gondolas. Written by Kevin Blanc
