Coston

Coston Route: pleasant and accessible route with a linear, well-marked ascent and several descent options. The first part offers interesting variations thanks to the changes in gradient, ideal for improving technique and control. On the descent you can choose between sections under the chairlift, return to the ski-lift arrival with off-piste, or continue to Baita Coston and descend along the main slope. Safe, scenic and very popular route even in the evening hours by ski mountaineers.

Throughout the ascent, the trail never approaches the chairlift, maintaining a minimum distance of about 50-60 meters; although visible in some sections, the chairlift always remains far from the trail.
