Ski hire La Grave

Ski hire La Grave - La Grave is a legendary off piste ski destination with very little pisted terrain. Officially there are 12km of prepared terrain, graded either easy or intermediate but this is made up of several very small and basic areas with a couple of drag lifts each and a blue run at the top of the long two stage gondola which ascends a remarkable 1750 metres from the village. The blue run is use to make the link over to the huge ski area of neighbouring Les deux Alpes. However few folk come here to use that service, most are here for the infamous off piste. La Grave has held its place as an off piste mecca for many decades now. The village is said to have changed little in the 900 years it has stood there and the same can be said for the ski area. Other resorts have opted to create more gentle, recreational skier friendly bashed slopes to compliment their famous steeps, not so La Grave. There are dozens of legendary descents, the longest 2,400 metres. These include lÓrciére de Droites which descends from the Dome de la Lauze at 3550m. Natural terrain creates a freestyle paradise, extreme snowboarding. There's no park or pipes for boarders, just a dream world of unlimited natural hits for those already technically proficient off piste. Beginners should stay on the short piste at le Chazelet or le Lautaret.
