Experts only. There’s only one lift in La Grave, yet for freeride skiers the world over this is the place to name drop. Unspoilt by pistes or patrols of any sort, this vast and pristine valley offers 2,000 vertical metres of some of the most extreme and beautiful off-piste skiing on the planet. You'll cry when you see it.
Skiing like it used to be - the very opposite of Tignes. When nearby resorts - such as Ischgl and St Anton - are packed, the slopes of Galtur remain a powder-filled oasis of calm.
