Information on the ski mountaineering excursion to Costabella Crest in Monte Cristallo
From the large parking lot at Rio Gere we take the chairlift reaching 2215 meters at Rifugio Son Forca.
Once the seal skins are on, we climb along the old ski slope Staunies to the descent system half way down the couloir. Then we climb on the left valley taking us to 2870 meters at Forcella Grande.
From the pass we descend on the right until we reach just below the Costabella slope. We climb this rather steep slope reaching the spectacular aerial ridge that will take us to the beginning of the descent.
The first part of the descent is pretty steep, about 38 degrees, up to the entrance of the beautiful valley descending until it narrows into a small riverbed. Then keeping on the right and going across we enter a forest leading us near the cross country trail.
Following the trail we reach the Ploner Hotel where we had previously left a car for the return.
