Sector: Soldeu
The slopes flowing into the Solana del Forn area off the Tosa dels Espiolets ridge are shared by a number of motorway-wide blue pistes: the
Duc, the
Gall de Bosc, the
Ós, and the
Fura. All four routes begin together by funnelling through the slightly narrower and steepish section which marks the official start of the
Duc and the
Fura, before fanning out to take their respective routes through this wide and open upper valley.
The
Duc accompanies the
Gall de Bosc straight ahead for a long & gentle undulating schuss, until the
Gall de Bosc turns sharply off to the skier's left down towards the
Espiolets Plateau. The
Duc continues straight on, following what used to be the route of the old Solana del Forn draglift (now dismantled) to emerge parallel with the
Paniquera piste, linking with the Espiolets button tow below skier's left. Continuing the descent past this lift provides a good link with the Solana chairlift, and also allows you to join the
Ós piste for the home run to
Soldeu base station.
