For snowboarders who like mountains...

This blog has been created with the purpose of compiling almost all my backcountry days from my first steps in the Cantabrican mountains to mountain ranges such as the Alps and the Pyrenees, and hopefully filled in the future with many travels in the pursuit of great rides and remote areas. Enjoy the reading!

Punta de la Pierre, 2653m 11-Febrero-2011 (Alpes)

On Wednesday and Thursday we visited Sestriere and Cervinia. The days were sunnies and warms and the snow was quite good unless in some slopes at the end of the day that appears the ice base. We really enjoyed it!

For Friday I chose this peak because is the classics of the classics in Aosta. Every single skier of Aosta has rised this peak. It is easily reachable by a forest piste till 2200m. I knew that the descent was not going to be the typical freeride shoots but the location is perfect to make an idea of all the valley. In addition, the piste would also help Cesar to ride up.

Huts and Mont Blanc at the right hand side.


Monte Grivola with almost 4000m.


Mont Blanc and Gran Combin from the summit.


Gran San Bernarde and Cervino from the summit, with the Aosta city below.

As I knew the descent was boring, although there were some parts more enjoyable! What´s more without sprints!


The last lights of the day brought "magic" views with the huts, trees and these glorious mountains and landscapes....an so close to bit cities!

On Saturday we rested and on Sunday we went to Monginevro. We checked the lack of snow...anyway this days are snowing and at least 30-50cm of fresh snow is forecasted.
