Freeride
La Grave, de la Meije isn’t a resort. It doesn’t adapt to you. You adapt to the mountain. That’s where our guides come in. They read the terrain, know every line, and take you into descents you’d never find, or dare to try, on your own, safely.
A typical run here starts high on the glacier and never stops changing. Gentle slopes give way to steep ones, wide-open bowls tighten into chutes, and glacial moraines lead into endless steeps and deeps before the mountain finally settles into the quiet of the forest. Then there are the legendary Girose glacier descents, with direct lines of 2,300 metres. It’s runs like these that bring riders back year after year, drawn by some of the most spectacular scenery in the Alps.
“The ambition is to create a good chemistry between guests and guides. Careful thought is given to the itineraries that are chosen for each day. The goal is to keep clients challenged by the terrain, but not terrified by the surroundings.”
-Pelle Lang
We’ll show you what we believe is the best lift-accessed freeriding in the world.
All you need is a spirit of adventure.
Every day starts with a morning safety briefing, where your guides go through the conditions and the plan. From there, they take care of the planning, the safety and the coordination, so all you have to think about is the next turn.
And if La Grave isn’t at its best? Even better. Ten neighbouring resorts, each with its own micro-climate, are just 25 to 60 minutes away, and your guides know where the good snow is hiding. They can take you to secret off-piste spots in Alpe d’Huez, Vaujany, Serre Chevalier, Montgenèvre, Claviere and Sestriere, full of steeps, deeps and marvellous trees. Or trade a day for ski touring instead. With several groups on the mountain each day, we can easily adapt to every level of skiing and ability.
