TouringTip | La Voute
01/20/2020 • Adrian Sauter
La Voute is one of the most legendary and longest freeride runs in la Grave. With the ski resorts's lift support, you can embark on a varied adventure in a magnificent setting. The descent leads over the wide Girose glacier deeper and deeper in untouched and wild landscape over 2200 meters of altitude into the valley.

01/27/2019 • Lars OelmannUllr has taken a break after his northern congestion excesses. Now it's getting back to work and bringing snow to the Alps.
