Savoleyres - Chez Simon (ShaleFest)

Verbier

A rocky little number that is sunk into the north side of Savoleres mountain. It will keep you on your toes with tightness, relative speed and blind switchbacks. It feels like real riding.

Starting down the face that acts as a semi off piste run in the winter you'll quickly be intensely focused. Off camber, rocks and and ever twisting but straight nature. No specific technicalities other than its narrow and sunken character. As your comfort and speed increases you'll be hard on the brakes to make a series of sharp corners that are carefully hidden. A fast and furious descent that can set the tone for the day or be frequented on laps on the fast Savoleyres lift.

Château - Crie (Jackass)

A mythical descent that should strike fear or excitement into any rider. Very long, very steep, very technical and very exposed. Not for the faint hearted or those with a fear of heights.
