Two days skiing from La Grave: Vallon de la Selle to Saint-Christophe, Chancel, the Vallons de la Meije and Chirouze, with powder turns and sunny breaks.
Conditions in La Grave are excellent this February 2014!
Day 1 — Vallon de la Selle and a return via Chancel
With Muriel, Laurent, Lara and Lou-Anne, we head down the Vallon de la Selle towards Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans in perfect weather.
The snow has softened a little on the upper section, then we quickly find powder and plenty of fresh lines. We make the most of it!
The snow cover that day lets us ski all the way to Saint-Christophe.
A gastronomic stop at La Cordée, then we return to La Grave via Les Deux Alpes and finish down the Vallon de Chancel.
Everyone gets their fill of enjoyment… and burning thighs!
Day 2 — Vallons de la Meije and Chirouze gauche
The following morning, the team has shrunk somewhat: only Muriel has survived! Her sister Sonia joins her so that she does not feel too lonely.
We start with the full Vallons de la Meije descent, which Muriel has not skied before. Skiing beneath La Meije is a spectacle not to be missed…
We then head back up to the Dôme de la Lauze for the long descent of Chirouze gauche.
Conditions are excellent, with powder and fresh turns to enjoy. Just one tiny section of firm snow…
A little time trussed up on the zipline above the Romanche, and we finish the day as we should: a good meal and sunshine on the Castillan terrace.
A tough life!
