If you want to spice up your skiing with difficult to ultimate consequences, head for the steep walls! With a lot of technique and strong brains, the masters of the trade twirl their braids tightly towards the valley. There is a rich history behind it and many legends have immortalized themselves with their descents. For those who want to try out existential battles on skis on the mountain, a place called Chamonix or the steep "Canale" of the Dolomites is generally recommended.

For the film "La Liste", Swiss freeskier Jérémie Heitz set himself an ambitious goal: Within two years, he wanted to conquer 15 of the most impressive steep slopes in the Alps on skis - at a speed that would make him a pioneer.
