La Grave
La Grave is the other proclaimed ‘Mecca; of expert skiers and riders. No other resort in Europe comes close to providing such a focused mountain experience; no other ski town is so dedicated to serving those who have long sworn off groomers and are now searching for spiritual enlightenment “off-piste”.
Devoted converts will return year-after-year to worship 7,000+ vertical feet of uncontrolled powder bowls, tight couloirs and divine tree-skiing. Short of night clubs or glitzy pubs, this mountain idyll is for die-hard experts who know how to strut their stuff and love to play - hard.
