The five ski resorts hosting the Ultimate Test Tour are known for their quality freeride terrain. La Grave has been an off-piste mecca for years, with freeriders flocking to the legendary descents - the longest being 2400 metres. In fact La Grave has very limited pisted terrain, therefore it is essential that skiers take a guide. Professional ski guides can help you avoid crevasses and avalanches at the same time as showing you the best the mountain has to offer.
