Description
The Grand Massif is located in the Haute- Savoie region, bang in the centre of the Alps. With 80% north-facing slopes and the almighty Mont Blanc as a backdrop, the snow conditions are usually excellent and the panoramas are always spectacular.
Encompassing 5 resorts, the Grand Massif is a ski area of epic proportions and offers incredible off-piste options, with wide-open powder fields, backcountry bowls and very long descents. With so much on offer, our collection of freeride lines for the Grand Massif is also big. If you want a fun bumpy ride and the chance of an audience, try Under Gron Chair. For great powder, moguls, and a steep couloir, go for Vernant Central.
