Sector: Soldeu
Basically all variations of the prime
Solana piste, accessed from the summit of the
Tossal de la Llosada.
Follow the line of the fence along the flat summit ridge, parallel to the line of the Assaladors chairlift, until you reach the entrance for the
Solana dipping off to the skier's right. The upper section is really just a track, twisting down over the rocky head of the Solana del Forn Valley to a junction point on the wider slopes below: veer to the skier's right there for the
Obaga; the skier's left for the
Marmota; or, stay central to remain on the
Solana.
There is no real difference in the profile of these three routes, but the
Solana is designated as a Boarder/SkierCross course and uses the natural berms & rollers of a mountain stream gully to deliver the most interesting ride; some sections of which are pipe-like in scale.
All three pistes converge to make good links with the
Assaladors and
Solanelles chairlifts. The
Solana and the
Marmota end there, but the
Obaga also bypasses the lifts' terminals to continue on to a gentle wooded trail running along the skier's righthand bank of the Solana del Forn stream, eventually meeting the finish of the
Serrat de la Posa piste and a rope tow up towards the
Solana chairlift, and links with the
Ós piste which makes a home run to Soldeu village.
