LA GRAVE FREERIDE PROCAMP 2027

Planning freeride in La Grave? It is one of the last places in the Alps where freeride still looks like freeride – no marked pistes, no crowds and no commercial circus. That is why our Pro Camp La Grave in the legendary La Meije terrain (13–21 March 2027) is a guarantee of 6 days of intensive riding in wild terrain under the eye of a local French guide and an experienced pro rider and trainer. Cost of participation from €1,464.

Why La Grave?

Because La Grave is one of the last places in the Alps that does not pretend to be a modern ski resort.

One iconic gondola takes you up to 3,200 m a.s.l. Then real, raw freeride begins – no marked pistes, no safety nets and no mass tourism chasing the same snow.

In addition, you get the legendary Vallons de la Meije and Chancel, steep couloirs, open glacial fields and lines with huge vertical. In other words, this is terrain made for people looking for authentic big mountain, not a commercial “off-piste light”.

Snow, terrain and on-site care

During the camp (13–21 March 2027) you get the support of a licensed French mountain guide and daily professional technical training led directly by the Pro Camp trainer – an experienced pro rider and instructor. Moreover, technique analysis, line reading and safety work in a small group of 5–8 take your skills to a whole new level.

The contribution includes 6 days of riding under the eye of the trainer and a guide, 7 nights with breakfasts and transfers to and from Grenoble airport. However, flights are at your own expense.
