Elsewhere
Arolla - Swiss
arolla in winter, it's tranquillity assured
a typical hotel at the end of the road, it's good we're wedged, there's more than to slide
faces and corridors that give the whirlwind before deciding which one will do:
needle of tsa
couloirs of tsenâ refien
couloirs serre de vouibe
and many other ideas ...
Andermatt - Swiss
Andermatt, is...
a pretty typical village,
2 cable cars,
not many people in the corner,
a crossroads of valleys where it snows a lot,
a few tracks, but especially off-tracks everywhere,
Virgin mountains at 360 °,
peaceful loooongs valleys,
couloirs, couloirs, and couloirs,
seal skins at the start of the ski lifts,
a train that brings back you when you finish your run too far,
other stations nearby in case,
a risk of fun guaranteed,
in fact, nothing to get crazy... well, yes still a little! everyone his method to discover Andermatt: stay, road trip, last minute in case of pure conditions.
Val d'Anniviers - Swiss
Freeride or Freerando
stay, road trip or last minute
Whatever the method, but this valley is part of the essential backcountry skiing!
located at the foot of the "Imperial Crown", the chain of peaks of 4000 m composed of the Weisshorn, Zinalrothorn, Obergabelhorn, Dent Blanche, Cervin/Matterhorn just behind.
The panorama is crazy! and endless runs. All orientations are possible throughout the day.
Once more, skinning at the top of the lifts seems essential to me to stray off the beaten track, in search of wild routes and make the most of this exceptional setting. Not more than 300 m climb in ski touring, at the beginning or end of the descent, we should be okay, right?
Oh I forgot, the local religion, is fondue ! So, who's ready to Go ?
Secret spots - Italy
As Italians like to parade on the slopes, you can not even imagine the blank playgrounds to explore the "ritalistan"!
It's up here, just behind the border, from Piedmont to Aosta Valley.
to seize from the first "retour d'est", these famous heavy snowfall which can be several meters in a few days.
Come there to test, I will tell you all of these places Magic, finally... almost all ;-)
formulas: stay, road trip, last minute to decide together.

Diablerets - Swiss
Calanques - Sunny climbing
Sormiou, morgiou, sugiton, devenson, great candelle,... all these names speak you?
You don't need to be fan of pastis to explore these major routes overlooking the sea ;-)
Spring and Autumn are the ideal seasons for climbing in the calanques, outside the heat of summer. We can also climb there all winter long, for addicts, or for a bit of snow
It is also possible to live an exciting adventure with boat-kayak-sailing / climbing.
What a change to sleep in a sailboat and join the foot of the routes from the water!
To try absolutely!
Can be combined also with climbing to Cap Canaille to vary the style of rock and the atmosphere.
Sainte Foy - Tarentaise
Grand Paradis 4061m - ski touring
You're tired of blowing your thighs during the long descents on foot? Me too
it's like summer, but more fun downhill.
there are a multitude of high-altitude peaks suitable for skiing.
Let's start with Grand Paradis, you will see that's not so scaring and difficult ;-)
Lombardi - valchiavenna, livigno - co. Italy
off-piste, skiing or the ideal mix in freerando for you to choose
road trip between two valleys: madesimo, valchiavenna and livigno more east
comfortable accommodations, good Italian food and resorts tailored for adventure. they know how to do it in this country!,
another area, on the Swiss border, which receives a lot of snow regularly. and no big off-piste culture, in these valleys = risk of a breathtaking stay...

Engelberg - Swiss
engelberg, not sure that name really speaks to you? Yet here's still a hell of a spot of off-piste skiing and freerando!
very watered by the depressions, whatever their orientation, this resort is crumbling under the powder all winter.
Runs accessible from the ski lifts and the larger wilder routes that we reach in a few minutes of skinning, everything is for a dream stay!

Grand Combin 4314m - Couloir du Gardien
A beautiful long adventure that starts on the way to the refuge. we are there in the real high mountain, we must be tough, know how to be patient and have horn to feet ...
with 1700m of vertical drop, it's a summit that deserves!
but what a magical course, what a crazy view of all the Alps!
