World class off-piste

People who work in snow round tend to joke about that they recognize the Italian skier that sunglasses are more expensive than skis, and of course, there is some truth in the claim. Up among pisterna in Courmayeur, see as many canteens which lifts, but they are there for a reason; get the lift system in the world offer the same spectacular views that, at the foot of Monte Bianco or Mont Blanc that we Scandinavians says. This slipping the jagged Alpine Giants mile wide Southside in the constant focal point. A giant wall of rock walls, glaciers and moraines formed by the broad road of which trained eyes also aiming a pair of dramatically positioned mountain iron works and some offpistspår in the spectacular routes. It is wild and crazy and dazzling beauty.
Yet you'll meet surprisingly few Alpine adventurers in Courmayeur. Extra strange considering that there are thirteen in a dozen in Chamonix on the French side of the same large scales. The stadsliknande village is actually a little tired. Few wintering Scandinavians, Finns breeds at Bar Roma. Britons on charter brölar in other sunkiga watering hole while the traditional Italians barely even seems to have heard of our Nordic après-ski. The walk most just along the car-free main street, window hop pairs and mumsar cakes on the time-honored Caffé della Posta. Fur and poodle rally rolls each afternoon.
Still seems little Courmayeur is rarely as snobbigt. Here are vegetable trader neighbor with Armani and krimskramset in the souvenir shop is followed by an halvdyr antique shop, an entire kitschigt Gallery with real estate agent who lists "country homes", as well as a pizzeria with slätstruken site menu. Fashion awareness is several times larger in Swedish Åre. However, sometimes in Courmayeur, one senses another kind of prestige, ex-emplifierad of skaters that twenty years after the skidklädernas date of purchase still is available in the same sizes.
But – and this is important – pisterna is not located on Monte Bianco, but on a lesser tubercle. Ski area is compact and quite limited. Because we are in Italy is pisterna well run and we as wobblade around on the narrow skidans time carry out thawing operations like your memory with forest skiing. Now it is prohibited on caring about animals and tree seedlings, but mainly since security forces tired of collecting all badly badly affected Chipko movement. Left by Courmayeurs nice offpistmöjligheter are basically just glaciäråken on the great Monte Bianco – and then we will talk.
It begins with three teleferic built immediately after World War II. Last sardinburken takes only eight people and avstigningen is 3 462 metres above sea level. Oxygen-poor judgment strikes directly, the pulse rises, pjäxorna weighs lead and body lacks the patience needed on Monte Bianco is no slopes. Most are here to follow the popular and beautiful, but disturbing flat glaciärturen Vallée Blanche in Chamonix. Instead, follow the metal staircase that bultats down the steep vertical mountain edge towards Toulaglaciären. Days with cold and fluffy powder snow is indeed quite lätträknade because time is squeezed between two sharp ridges to the South, but ignore it. Glide away when the morning sun just starts bringing the kläcka skarens smooth hard surface, and you get the Championship before. Draw the skis in the fall line, take proper speed, kantställ by uniform load and dampen the end with bent knees. As powerful as easily. It is just to keep the balance and follow mountain guide orders, up on the Monte Bianco, you need someone to hold in the hand. No chitchat about it.
