Gi + Ken found this fun tour on the Julierpass 1:50000 ski touring map -- at 3392m the highest peak around the Julier pass. Not usually skied from the summit, but it was a good snow year, so Gi did it this time - [ report ]

our first view of the peak, at the top of our first climb, starting from lake Marmorera

summit section -- someone had skied that southeast chute on a previous day, but nobody went there on the day we were there

packed sheltered trail allows us to keep skiing down a long ways below the village, until we only have a short hike carrying skis out to the main road.
