SKI and off-piste snowboarding in val d’isere

Since the 2000s, off-piste skiing has become a way to get away from the busy ski resorts and slopes to find more authentic mountain spots, away from the crowds.

Some skiers have gradually wanted to explore the other side of the resort and have found a new playground, but especially new sensations, by being closer to nature.

Backcountry Skiing is nowadays more and more popular. This activity allows a perfect mix between the use of lifts to reach the heights and the wilderness areas, the climbs in skins and the long magical descents in adventure terrain. Backcountry skiing is halfway between alpine skiing and ski touring.
