Freeride skiing allows you to explore untouched landscapes and access the most beautiful routes in the Portes du Soleil, venturing away from the ski area and marked trails. This practice opens up the wild, untouched winter mountains for you to discover.
Chamossière Freeride Area
In the Morzine-Les Gets ski area, the Chamossière freeride zone is an ideal playground for powder enthusiasts and experienced skiers. Located at an altitude of 2,000 meters and easily accessible via the Chamossière chairlift, this area offers a wide, open bowl, perfect for freeriding. With its wide expanse, varied terrain, and high altitude, Chamossière enjoys natural snowfall throughout the winter. Its north-west orientation shields it from the sun, ensuring excellent skiing conditions until the end of the season.
Don’t Neglect Safety Equipment
Wherever you go skiing, whether on-piste or off-piste, always stay cautious and never ignore safety guidelines. Before heading out, make sure to check snow conditions and avalanche risks. You can also consult with ski patrols to avoid taking the wrong route.
Freeride skiing can be dangerous and requires extensive mountain experience. Never overestimate your abilities. It’s better to turn back than to take unnecessary risks! Remember to carry appropriate safety gear (avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe, etc.), and don’t hesitate to hire a professional instructor.
For the Ultimate Adventure, Try Heliskiing
You can also take it a step further with heliskiing. By helicopter, you can gain altitude and access freeride zones that are typically unreachable. After an aerial view of the area, you’ll be dropped off at the top, skis ready, with a breathtaking view of the Alps, including Mont-Blanc and the Chablais valley as a backdrop. This sets the stage for an unforgettable descent, combining the beauty of the mountains with the adrenaline of a truly extraordinary adventure.
Carve through untouched slopes and enjoy the thrill of skiing in the heart of nature, leaving your first tracks on pristine snow.
