What's the altitude difference?

Re: Looks nice!

~ 900+ m from the upper cablecar station (~2800m) down to the sweeter slopes at the end of the channel (~1900m)
if you do it after the ski-mountaneering to Pizzo Stella you can think you've done one of the best downhill of the Alps :)
of course the end of the descent must be Madesimo (~1500m) to be reached along the Interpista or the Vanoni.
