Just between the mountain ranges of Mont Blanc, Gran Paradiso and the Ecrins we have the National Park the Vanoise, with the Grande Casse (3855m) as their highest peak. This region in the Savoie has a huge potential of freeride terrain. Like we are known for, we are not such a fan of the XXL Ski areas with those corresponding masses of people. That's why we are trying to avoid the circus and take the fast running lifts up for access to the terrain off-limits. Like always an approach with respect for nature.
All descents are possible from the centrally located Bourg Saint Maurice; from long and sloping to super steep in a direct line. We reach the off-piste terrain via one of the hundreds of lifts and we will occasionally walk a short distance or approach it via a fast traverse. The ski bus takes us to the different stations of the Paradiski in no time. The Espace Killy is a bit further (40 minutes).
On Sunday evening we meet in a hotel in the centrally located town of Bourg Saint Maurice. On Monday morning we will slowly acclimatize. We pay attention to the technique, which helps to enjoy just that little bit extra. A long off-piste run behind the top of Foglietta in the small ski resort of Sainte Foy could be a nice kick-off. The plenty descents that we can do in the coming days will be done as you are used to from us; ski as many variants as possible! Adapted to your skills and wishes, the group's own abilities and the snow conditions. We already dream of the face du Charvet or the long descent to les Gorges de Malpasset in Val d'Izère. La Grande Motte or Chardonnet above Tigne. The glacier de la Gurra from Les Arcs which is so beautiful seen from Sainte Foy or perhaps a day a little more leisurely on the slopes from Mont Valaisan in the Italian la Thuile. And when everything comes together, something really big is possible too. Have you ever heard of the steep lines of Aiguille Rouges in les Arc or the Bellecôte in La Plagne?
