The off-piste adventure

at the tips of the skis

An off-piste or freeride session takes place in unsecured mountain areas around Montgenevre. You’ll be guided by an experienced pro from the ski school who will accompany you to the most remote corners of Montgenevre.

the best conditions for off-piste

Off-piste skiing requires a high level of skill and experience in skiing or snowboarding. The instructors/guides who lead these freeride sessions will teach you how to read your environment to ensure you navigate safely. As snow conditions change with the weather, each day will present different challenges, whether it’s powder, heavy snow, crusty, or tracked. You’ll learn the techniques needed to adapt to varying conditions.

Good to know

required skill level

For off-piste

It’s important to embrace challenges and have confidence in yourself. As for your skiing or snowboarding level: if you’ve had at least 100+ falls and can now tackle a black run with some style despite tough weather conditions, you’re good to go!

an international ski domain

Off-piste

For all!

For first-timers as well as experts, Montgenèvre offers a wide range of slopes to suit your level and ensure you progress in the best conditions

the most renowned off-piste routes in Montgenevre

Les vallons de la Doire

Perfect for warming up, this off-piste route is easily accessible with minimal obstacles. Basically, there’s plenty of space. Many variations are possible

La petite Doire

Rather short but refined, this route features beautiful obstacles that will spice up your descent. Trees and small rocks will delight freeriders

La combe du loup

With an incredible view of the Clarée Valley, Briançon, and Serre Chevalier, this descent becomes a bit more challenging as you go, so your thighs might warm up. But it’s a highly enjoyable off-piste route

Les vallons de la Vachette

Another easy start, with some historical traces from Montgenèvre (Maginot Fortifications). Then it’s a descent through the forest in a stunning mountainous landscape with marked relief

Le grand Charvia

Start with your skis on your shoulder. A short approach walk (15 to 20 minutes), and then you’re there… The vastness, endless snowfields. Italy awaits

And then there are the others…

Those that we’re careful not to mention

Many other off-piste routes weave through the mountains around Montgenevre, and we’re happy to keep a few surprises for you.
