This black piste challenges even experienced winter sports enthusiasts, demanding solid technique, courage and excellent stamina. With gradients reaching up to 63 percent, it ranks among the steepest and most demanding runs in the region. Those who take on the challenge are rewarded with an unforgettable adrenaline rush and a true glacier skiing experience. 🎿❄️
On the 15th of April I’ve had a private 2 hours long lesson with a wonderful English instructor named Jim. I’m an advanced skier but I’m totally out of touch with today’s way of skiing as I’ve learned how to ski in the 70’s and haven’t skied since. Jim took one look at my skiing and started to show me how to improve. We’ve practiced for 2 hours and by the end of the lesson I really felt the difference. I was able to use the architecture of new generation skis, my upper body gotten quiet under Jim’s watchful eye. He was patient and clear with his instructions, easy to get along with a great personality to match. Jim gave me the foundations on which I could build a better quality skiing. And indeed I did. For the remainder of the day I practiced everything Jim told me and my skiing really improved. Thank you, Jim
