An international team explores Serre Chevalier off-piste: Montagnolle, Cucumelle, the Corneilles valley and a final forest run through unexpected powder.
Today I meet a cheerful international team to explore the off-piste terrain around Le Monêtier, in Serre Chevalier.
Germany, New Zealand, England… and even a local from the Hautes-Alpes!
Conditions are not exactly epic: the wind has given the powder little chance. But we still find excellent skiing on cold, smooth snow, and even the occasional patch of powder!
Two morning laps around Montagnolle, followed by a good lunch in the sunshine on the Peyra Juana terrace.
We could stop there and everyone would already be delighted. But the owner’s génépi restores our enthusiasm!
In the afternoon, we climb briskly towards Cucumelle in decidedly windy conditions before descending the Corneilles valley.
Once past the heavily wind-scoured upper section, we enjoy fine skiing with the place to ourselves.
The team still has plenty of energy, so I suggest one final run in a slightly more distant forest, where we let out a few happy shouts in some miraculously untouched powder!
