A somewhat easier descent than the northern contest slope is the west descent from Corvatsch towards Curtinella, which nevertheless has an alpine character and should not be underestimated. In the first curve of the slope, you descend a few hundred meters towards the small plain, then enter a steep, narrow gully west below the rock bands, which opens after 200 vertical meters and leads back to the ski area over increasingly wider and flatter slopes.

Safety information

Good skiing technique is necessary, the entry chute is steep and depending on snow conditions very narrow. Avalanche risk must also be appropriate.
