Off Piste Queyras
Ski Snowboard Off-piste
Destination : Queyras, France
The border mountain massif of the Southern Alps is a place where authenticity and tourism have been able to meet while respecting landscapes and its inhabitants. It also has a very special geographical situation. Indeed, this is where the famous *'retour d'est' pours out, which can offer incredible amounts of snow for our greatest pleasure. And when you have tasted it once, it is rarely the last time. The Queyras quickly calls one back!
Objective:
- To enjoy yourself in total safety. Discover the little frequented stations of Queyras
that offer large fields of powder and beautiful lines in the Larch forests.
- Improve your technique.
- Improve your knowledge in the use of avalanche rescue equipment.
* A 'retour d'est' is something of a mythical and iconic phenomenon. According to the tradition: up to 2
meters of fresh snow can come down in a short period of time. See https://wepowder.com/en/forum/... for more information!
