The extreme off-piste skiing in Monte Rosa to Lyskamm Oriental starts from Staffal (Gressoney), Frachey (Champoluc), or Alagna, the skiers will take the cable car and they will go up to Indren, at an elevation of 3275 meters.

Day One: Punta Indren - Rifugio Mantova or Capanna Gnifetti
The excursion itinerary starts from Punta Indren (3275 meters). With a marvelous progression the skiers will reach Capanna Gnifetti hut (3647 meters) on their skis, or Rifugio Mantova (3498 meters). Dinner and overnight stay.

Day Two: Rifugio Mantova or Capanna Gnifetti - Lyskamm Oriental
From the refuge the path resumes and it leads the hikers until under Mount Corno Nero; the mountaineers will pass, then, aside of mount Ludwigshole and of Mount Parrot before reaching Mount Colle del Lys (4250 meters).

The summit of Mount Lyskamm can be reached in two ways: through the climb of the side on which the descent will take place or through a few other vias (Via Normale through the east ridge, for example). The north face descent of Lyskamm features two possible itineraries, both very well skiable. The choice, time by time, will be taken according to the condition of the snow.

The first part, though definitely steep, is the easiest one. It is very likely to find good snow, since Mount Lyskamm, particularly its upper part, is very exposed to the wind. The technically hardest section, the key stretch of the descent, is a 250 meter slope similar to a wide couloir right by the serac. The declivity, then, decreases and the hikers will get to an open area allowing them to make wide and continuous curves.

The freeride excursion to Mount Lyskamm Oriental features the typical issues of extreme skiing. It calls for good physical (and mental) training and accurate preparation of the equipment. The weather condition must absolutely be good. The complete mountaineering equipment is necessary.
