For confident skiers looking for steep, often ungroomed terrain, with gentle runs at the bottom for the rest of the group.
Cortina lists 16 runs from 1,402 m down to 872 m. Hiedayama Course 2 reaches 42°, and the Hiedayama, Giant and Itadaira ridge lines are rated expert; the longest descent is 3.5 km to Ikenota.
Find Ikenota at the bottom first: the easy runs and the night skiing are there. Follow the lifts up toward Hiedayama and Itadaira, and use the Hiedayama woodland trail as the long, easier way back down.
