La Grave Trip

La Grave is a unique ski area for off piste skiing and just a short trip over the top of the glacier from Les Deux Alpes.

A group of four of us booked up a guide for the day and headed for La Grave over the glacier. We were the first to ski the virgin snow on the top of the glacier.
There are plenty of great views of the glaciers.


After we reached the end of the glacier and tree line we had to pick our way through rocks and along a cliff before abseiling down it with our skis on.
We finished by a stream, crossing over a snow bridge where we then waited for a taxi to take us to the main La Grave lift where we did a couple of the more traditional runs.
