Extreme snow sports

The Grand Massif is a fantastic area for on and off-piste skiing and experiencing or learning paragliding on skis or the new extreme sport of speed riding as there are many places to go to get away from the crowds.

You can either come to our chalets as a group and you can book one or both chalets just for your group OR alternatively you come come as an individual, couple or small group on one of our dedicated Extreme Snow Sports Adventure weeks (first one is 11th January) where you will share the chalets and extreme activities with like minded individuals.  See below for more details.

We have teamed up with 2 local ski schools and offer everything from tame to extreme guided on and off piste skiing and snow boarding days out. For example Off Piste ‘James Bond’ trip which includes abseiling down a cliff and a gourmet lunch at a mountain restaurant only accessible by snow mobile or a more sedate on piste from France to Switzerland for lunch in a Swiss mountain restaurant and back (we can adapt to what you / group want).

We have also teamed up with a local top French paragliding / Speed riding school (French and English instructors) who are excellent (my daughter and learnt with them). See below for more details on each of the extreme snow sports.

Extreme Skiing / Snowboarding Guided Adventure
If you want an extreme adventure then we can organise it for you for your stay with us (it is best to organise in advance as we can then guarantee that the guides are available). This can be something fairly tame to something completely radical but all with the safety of expert guides. Gastronomic or light lunch stops for lunch can be fitted into the itinerary as required. Examples of what can be organised include:

For extreme off-piste skiing / snowboarding you will need security equipment (beacon, shovels and probes) which can be hired.

Guiding Prices:

Off-piste maximum 4 people (divide cost of guide by 4). On Piste maximum 8 people (divide by 8). Please book in advance so we can guarantee the guide. Please also note that during January, March (except Easter) and April we can more or less guarantee guides but during school holidays availability of guides is limited and booking early is essential. Gastronomic experiences can be added to your day out depending on what you want to do. Skiing with Helicopter can be arranged but is priced on what you want to do.

Extreme Snow Sports Adventure Weeks

We have specific weeks in January, March and April which are Extreme Sports Adventure Weeks. During these weeks the chalets are shared by individuals / groups that are like minded and want to experience extreme Skiing, Snow boarding, Speed Riding and Paragliding on skis. Price is just £395 per person plus cost of whatever extreme sport you wish to take part in. We help to co-ordinate and book activities so that you end up enjoying activities with others in the Chalets and can talk about your adventures over wine with the evening cuisine with the fire burning in the background.

Speed riding is the latest adrenaline sport that combines flying with skiing. It is easy to learn and you should have the basics cracked within a few hours. Do not believe the hype it is easy, great fun and safe when professionally taught. The school we have teamed up with have both French and English speaking instructors and are at the forefront of promoting this new sport. They also organisie an Speedriding competition open to all at the beginning of April in the Grand Massif. You will gain the FVFL (French Paragliding association) qualification which is the first association to offer a qualification. You need to be able ski red runs well and having a bit of Paragliding knowledge helps to do the course.
