With the future of La Grave's telepherique secure our legendary advanced off-piste week returns.
La Grave is one of the Alps’ most renowned off-piste ski areas. For years it has attracted the best of the world’s off-piste skiers who come for the great skiing and the majestic beauty of the place. The vertical drop is over 2,100m (close to 7,000 ft!) and much of the skiing is not for the fainthearted!

Where you stay
7 nights Half-Board hotel accommodation (twin rooms)
There are a number of hotels in la Grave we use and recommend. The Auberge Edelweiss which provides super accommodation with great food run by Robin & Marlon http://www.hotel-edelweiss.com/index.html .
The Skiers Lodge http://www.skierslodge.com/about-the-lodge/ who offer comfortable accommodation and a friendly and fun après-ski atmosphere.
Getting There
The Tunnel du Chambon on the RD1091 has re-opened making travel from Grenoble, Chambery and the Oisans significantly easier. This is often the easiest route.
You can also fly into Turin and take the main road west (E70) towards Susa, Oulx and onto Montgenevre, Briancon, pass over the Col du Lauteret to reach La Grave. Driving time on this route is around 2.5hrs.
Its recommended that for either route, but particularly if you choose to fly into Turin you hire a car as public transport this way is complicated to impossible. There is more information on this web link: http://www.lagrave-lameije.com/en/how-get-la-grave-villar-darene-and-its...
Please note that it is NOT POSSIBLE to drive over the Col du Galibier in the winter months. The Col du Lautaret is typically open during the winter but can be susceptible to closure in very heavy snow storms.
