Description:
La Grave is not a typical ski resort. It's a mecca for off-piste skiers & snowboarders, offering some of the most exciting and challenging lift-served terrain in the world. We have partnered up with some of the best guides and locals to guarantee you an unforgettable experience. Get ready to ride steep, trees, couloirs and lots of powder!
Perfect your technique in couloirs, trees and steeps, be at ease on all-different types of slopes and snow conditions. The guides will provide advice on technique, while respecting your individual style. Our guides will find the best snow conditions for you EVERY day. You will be guided in groups of max. 6 persons 5 days of the week and we keep 1 day for heliboarding in Italy. You will stay in a hotel where you will enjoy breakfast and 3 course dinners during the week. Everyday we have a Afterski Bar with free beers or tea and snacks! After dinners we will do different clinics every night if you still have the energy!
Resort info:The ski domain of La Grave – La Meije is unique. There is only one cable car taking skiers and snowboarders to 3200m. There is one small poma lift on the glacier, to 3600m. Besides for one small piste on the glacier the vast domain is all on your own risk. There is no avalanche dynamiting, no marked trails, just a few signs. It is wild terrain and around 2000m of pure mountain experience. There are four ski patrolers, employed by the mayor. Their role: analyze the conditions, informing lift customers on the conditions and together with the guides at the guide bureau taking the decision if the lift could open or not on a daily basis.
La Grave has become known as one of the world's most extreme ski resorts, featuring terrain that is usually reserved for backcountry areas in the Chugach, Alps, Himalayas, Andes and Caucus mountain ranges. Simply, La Grave offers lift service to some of the biggest and boldest terrain in the world.
