What is the skiing and snowboarding in La Grave/La Meije like?
La grave is one of the few places worldwide, which can boast an incredible 2150m (7050ft) vertical drop. The lift ascends from the village to stations at 1800, 2400m, 3200m, and finally to3550m. A typical ski descent offers limitless variety from tame to steep terrain commencing on a vast glacier, proceeding down spectacular open bowls, winding its way through small chutes, crossing glacial morains into seemingly endless steeps and deeps in the serenity of the forest.
