Description
Ski season is officially upon us, and we’re pretty pleased about it. And while we love a leisurely afternoon ski followed by a warming vin chaud (in a hot tub, perhaps?), we also love the heady thrill that comes with taking things off-piste, literally.
Get the lowdown on the best off-piste and freeriding spots in the Alps and, of course, where to stay when you’re there.
And remember, always take the necessary safety precautions - the right gear and a guide if you're new to the area.
