From Passo Paradiso, ski down the first part of the legendary black piste. After the second hair-pin bend, where the piste widens, break off left to reach a nice wide slope. This is split into four section, described from right to left (facing the valley):
Telecabina: ski off-piste close to the piste, beneath the Paradiso cable car. The terrain varies considerably with moguls and dips. Return to the piste at the end of its long straight section.

Canyon sector: descend directly towards the cable car valley station to reach a fun and spectacular canyon. At the end of this natural  “half-pipe” join up with the final part of the next itinerary, to then return to the groomed piste.

Tonale sector: cut across the slope leftwards to reach the wide slope to the left of the canyon. Return to the piste as for Canyon.

Alaska sector: after the first part fo the previous itinerary, continue leftwards to reach a wide gully (the first section is fairly steep), towards  Sledog. Ski down this to reach a wide open area where in good snow conditions the slope resembles a fun Super G slope, with alder trees sprouting out from the snow like gates. Cross the river  Ogliolo and pass above (recommended for snowboarders) or below the sledgedog kennels to reach the Pegrà piste. Return to Tonal using the lift at Colonia Vigili (1634m).
