This French Alps ski holiday includes off-piste skiing ideal for skiers who want to explore the mountain's natural terrains.
Off piste skiing in France! Enjoy a ski holiday in the French Alps.
Exploring more of the mountain in natural terrain is a whole new level of fun compared to groomed pistes, but it comes with an increased level of risk and a different style of skiing.
What is Off Piste Skiing?
Off piste skiing is essentially what the title is; skiing outside of the pisted area. This can be anything from going off the edge of the piste for a short while, to skiing complicated terrain far away, where the level of risk is amplified by new dangers which are controlled in resorts.
Skiing off piste is inherently dangerous to those who do not know what to look out for. And even for those who do, risks can only be mitigated, not removed completely.

This ski holiday in the French Alps includes accommodation and an off piste skiing course, all in a friendly & social atmosphere in France.
Skiing off piste requires your body and according technique to adapt to the varying terrain, which is less common on piste. As you build experience, you understand what kind of technique is required for the current terrain; you build a ‘toolbox’ which you can then draw upon to use the ‘right tool for the job’.
Off piste courses also requires different equipment and a good level of fitness.
