More than Skiing

Leave the ski-lifts alone and get a march on, up though unspoilt, soft and powdery snow, leaving only the trail of your skis behind you: Off-piste skiing is a wonderful way to experience nature in winter. Climbing up in complete silence, the joy of reaching the peak and the views they offer, and the thrill of whizzing back down through fresh and untouched snow make this a fascinating sport.
