Other Activities.
Ice Climbing
One of the best ice climbing areas in the whole of France is in the Oisans Region, between Bourg d´Oisans and La Grave. In the immediate vicinity, just west of La Grave on the RN 91 is Malaval. This is a major area with numerous cascades on either side of the road, varying from 40 meters to 600 meters in length and grade IV to VI in difficulty. Approach times of 2 minutes to 1 hour provide further alternatives, if that be needed. The climbs are too numerous to mention individually, but several are quite outstanding. Moulins (V) and Caturgens (V) are both 600 meters, the longest in France. Pride of the place for difficulty must go to La Pisse (250 VI) which we believe has only been climbed once in 1985.. From St Christophe, the Vallon de Diable is accessible in 2 to 3 hours with big serious routes. Our guides will be pleased to arrange 2 - 6 days program, from beginners to advanced. http://www.mwsguide.com
Snowboarding
We will be offering Speciality Weeks and Snowboard Camp throughout the season with guest guides. We have learnt through the years not to mix skiers and snowboarders in the same groups. The guided lines and routes are different and the traverses in the domain area of La Meije makes it too complex to guide.We have choosen to offer speciality week of snowboarding that will be guided by High Mountain Guides on snowboards. Of course if we have a group of five boarders during any time of the season we will make sure that the group will experience the best that the area has to offer. Our guide ratio is 1 guide/5 clients. This week is run by Team McNab. Established in 1996 by Professional snowboarder Neil McNab, this guide service was the first British company to run specialist snowboard camps. Today they have a dedicated programme of backcountry weeks, technical performance clinics and Freestyle development camps that operate throughout the winter. The camps and clinics have been specifically designed by Neil McNab to meet all your snowboarding demands and cater for all. http://www.mcnabsnowboarding.com
Ski Touring
La Grave and the surrounding area is an ideal mountain base for ski touring. Some of the classic alpine tours can be accessed within a simple one hour hike up into the most spectacular terrain. The tours are too numerous to mention individually, but several are too exceptional not to be mentioned: Tours de la Meije, Enfetchores... The high altitude glaciers ensure good snow conditions all year round. April and May can offer exceptional days and powder falls are not as rare as you might imagine. Good spring snow can invariably be found down to the lift station at 1 800m. Whether your motivation is to climb summits or to reach good skiing, the possibilities are endless for randonée tours in the National Park. Ski touring can be enjoyed at many levels but as soon you move above alpine elevation, it is essential that you appreciate the severity of the environment. We suggest that unless you are a local experienced winter mountaineer, you employ the services of a qualified high mountain guide. info@skierslodge.com
