Adventures
Nice little couloir that's less tracked than the Grand Couloir
An absolute Courchevel classic. Steep and wide faces with a visible end point to settle the nerves.
A La Tania classic enjoyed by holiday makers and three valleys veterans one and all
A little hike for a lot of powder!
A short tree line followed by a lovely open face, good for intermediate powder skiers but still fun for the experts
A 1650 icon. There's even a clothing brand named after it!
Huge number of drop-ins across this whole face
A transfer that starts at Heathrow terminal 5 and sends you flying
Endless pillows, endless drops, endless fun
A wide open powder face that makes you smile!
An easily accessible steep face often in great condition and rarely skied out
A great intermediate powder run with loads of variations. Not too far from the piste and again it faces N,NE so rarely too sun affected.
An absolute Mottaret classic!
A brilliant really long face, a classic of the 3 valleys
Often loaded with snow up there and not skied that much
An easily accessible and very demanding couloir with a huge snowfield to follow
Steep and deep open face with a couple of couloirs, some beautiful drops and beautiful turns to be had
A genuine Courchevel classic that starts off steep and mellows into the basin of the Chanrossa bowl before gently dropping you back at the bottom of the Chanrossa and Marmottes lifts
An easily accessed powder field with lots of drops, trees and open fields of powder
Most fun mogul run in Courchevel
A Courchevel classic enjoyed by locals and holiday makers all season long
A real Meribel classic, with a bit of bushwhacking here and there!
Host to freeride competitions in the early 2000s - a short walk with an almost certain guarantee of cold snow!
A Val Thorens mega-classic and a must do for anyone visiting the Belleville valley.
With only a 5 minute walk you get a steep, challenging and little skied pitch.
An engaging and challenging little gem, rarely skied out and easy to access.
Straight forward small couloir, not super steep and north facing so good snow to be found
