La Grave is a skiing area… that isn’t really a skiing area.
A huge off-piste area, the only one of its kind in Europe, where you can let our skis lead the way!
2 small groomed slopes on the glacier and that’s it, for the rest you’re free to do as you please, from the top of a cable car that is just as well known as the ski area it serves.

At La Grave, no plethora of cable cars spoiling the scenery, but just the Téléphériques des Glaciers de la Meije and a few ski lifts. No luxury accommodation, but rather comfortable hotels. No huge holiday centre, but a family-run chalet and a few gites. No shopping mall, but rather traditional shops.
