Bom para iniciantes, trilho muito bonito e fácil, pouco inclinado, para subir o nível, basta largar os travões, costuma ser bastante húmido. No fim, continuar no estradão sempre em frente e pela esquerda, vão encontrar o trilho da avalanche raposeira logo em baixo, depois é somente descer até a Raposeira.

Access Info

Sobem os Prazeres, no mesmo lugar da Partida para a Avalanche Raposeira, em vez de descer para o estradão da avalanche, vão no estradão logo há direita, vão em frente, tem uma ligeira subida, quando o estradão voltar a descer, na primeira curva fechada há direita, ai tem a saída do trilho á esquerda.
