Freeride and ski touring

Speedriding

Take you flight up to heaven!

In Les 2 Alpes offer you a speedriding session with an instructor.

A different sensation to paragliding, it’s even more adrenaline-fuelled! Speedriding is a combination of freestyle paragliding, freeride, snowkiting and parachuting…

The aim is to tease the powder snow  ... « touch and go », flying and skiing at the same time. Thrills guaranteed.

Les 7 Laux Freeride Package

The resort offers a freeride package that literally takes you off the beaten track.
The announcement was discreet... it’s been such a long time coming that we feared it a resounding success.
€14 for 3 chairlifts to the stunning backcountry for freeriders (beware of off-piste skiiers).
You’ll have to walk a bit, but the mountain is worth it!

Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse

The idea is to give participants their first experience in ski touring in a relaxed environment.

It takes place not far from the ski area, and is a chance for anyone who might find powder snow tricky to reach the marked-out slopes more easily.

Les 2 Alpes 5500m D+ challenge

Because customers change and crave freedom and the great outdoors, the French ski school (ESF) offers a challenging ski-touring programme: 5-days with 5,500m of elevation.
The goal is to improve both physical fitness and mental health while discovering the snow-capped peaks differently.
Given the off-piste conditions, participants are also trained to use avalanche victim detectors, to assess weather conditions and to evaluate snowpack conditions.
It’s an informative and rational approach to ski-touring!
