Southern French Alps: Off-The-Beaten-Path Ideas

I ran into this series of well-done articles from the Skipass site that cover a mixture of lift-served and earned-turns days at locations to the south/southwest of Briançon and Montgenèvre. I plotted the seven stops on the map below, which provide a nice itinerary for when I return to that region. Excellent photos and worth running the links through Google Translate.


End of January 2022: Skipass embarks on a road trip to discover the treasures of the Southern Alps in the middle of the region's least snowy season in decades. That's the way it rolls -- no one controls the weather -- however, it didn't stop us from making many turns in-bounds and beyond, with some nice surprises along the way. We left with dozens of routes in our heads, numerous great moments, as well as tourtons and local beer in our bellies. In short, many reasons to head south again when the white stuff decides to fall from the sky (which, of course, it did a week after our visit).
