La Grave ski tour

From Les 2 Alpes, you can take the cable car to the top at 3600m where the panoramic views of the Jura, Swiss and Italian Alps are incredible. From here, there are many off-piste options including the 7km decent down to 1400m in La Grave giving 2000m of vertical - one of the longest vertical trails in the Alps.

Glaciers of the Meije - 3 day tour

The Meije is one of the iconic peaks of the Alps surrounded by mighty glaciers. Although not that well known, the Meije ski tour is on a par with the best in the world.

The ski tour starts at the top of the Dome de Lauze above La Grave where there is a 2600m descent down the south side to the Glacier de la Selle. It's then time to skin up to the Breche du Rateau which involves an ice pick and crampons to get over the col followed by another wonderful 2600m trail into the Chatelleret Valley. A short climb takes you up to the Refuge du Promontoire perched on the side of La Meije.

On day 2, the ski tour takes you on a rollercoaster journey - climbing to the Breche du la Meije, more long descents and through the Passage du Serret du Savon and onto the Refuge du L’Aigle. The final day of the ski tour can take you via the Glacier du Tabuchet or Glacier du L’Homme before heading back to Les Alpes or La Grave.
