Serre Chevalier guided off piste skiing

Why not including one or more days off-piste in your next ski holiday week in the Hautes Alpes? Serre Chevalier is located just on the other side of the Lautaret pass. This large ski resort also offers many descent itineraries far from the pistes.

The weather in the Hautes Alpes is often sunny, but the snow is worthy of the Northern Alps. Our starting places are usually Briançon or La Grave.

Off-piste or freeride skiing gives you the freedom to ski in wild spaces from ski lifts. We go in search of the best snow far from the crowds. It’a a true pleasure to draw our ephemeral trace on the mountain.

Off-piste skiing also consists of getting to know and trying to minimize the risks of the mountains in the winter. It may be an opportunity for training in the use of safety equipment (AVD).

It may also be interesting to enjoy a week off-piste to have one or two days of ski touring (initiation or longer route)…

From Serre Chevalier or La Grave, it’s possible to combine off-piste ski and ski touring accessible from the lifts. Some examples: Dômes de Monétier crossing, north couloir of Rocher Bouchard, touring Râteau by Enfetchores…

Off-piste skiing is for all levels. However, it’s ideally for skiers that are comfortable on red pistes and are in good physical shape. You don’t need to have off-piste experience.

We can leave for a day, a weekend or a week.

The best period for off-piste skiing in the Hautes Alpes runs from December to April. Of course, it will depend on the snow!
