Itinerary description
The Capcir area is a popular destination for skitouring enthusiasts, offering a variety of challenging and scenic routes. Our journey started at Les Angles ski area, where we geared up and set out towards Petit Peric mountain.
The route was long, but easy to navigate as there were no significant dangers. The terrain was relatively flat, with a few gentle inclines to test our endurance. As we made our way deeper into the mountain range, we encountered a bit of wind, but the snow conditions remained safe and stable.
Despite a few gusts of wind, the final uphill proved to be the most challenging part of the journey. The south-facing slope was exposed to the sun, which had been warming up the snow, making it a bit softer than the previous days. But this also meant that the snow was in great conditions, with a nice crust that made for an enjoyable ski.
Finally, we reached the summit of Petit Peric mountain, where we were rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The view was a testament to the beauty of the region, and the effort we put into getting there. We took some time to enjoy the scenery, snap some photos and catch our breath before starting the descent.
The descent was fast and fun, and the snow conditions were perfect for making some turns. We took our time, relishing in the sensation of the wind in our faces and the snow crunching under our skis. The route back to Les Angles ski area was relatively easy, with some rolling terrain that gave us a chance to put our skills to the test.
In conclusion, the skitouring route in the Capcir area, starting from Les Angles ski area and ending with the summit of Petit Peric mountain, is a great way to experience the beauty and challenge of the region. Although the route is long, it is easy to follow and the snow conditions are generally safe. The last uphill may be a bit windy, but the views from the top are well worth it. The descent is fast and fun, with the snow in great conditions, making for an enjoyable experience for all skill levels.
