With no ropes, no pistes and no one telling you where you can and can’t go, La Grave represents a very special type of freedom rarely found in other alpine ski areas.
Narrated by a community of locals who have been freeriding in La Grave for the past two decades, and who still reside there today, this short ski film follows Sam Anthamatten and Johnny Collinson as they discover the steep faces, burly lines and unique collective spirit at the heart of La Grave.

I was there in the early 2000's when a local band member fell to their death in a crevasse, really sad time and you really felt it in the community.

I would've thought they'd have to send the helicopter everyday to fetch people who get stuck in various parts of the mountain.

Nobody is talking about the spirit camera operator, with his eyes on the subject, that carves the same lines yet never hits a tree... never drops a blind lip. It isnt all heli and drones... some of it is apposable thumbs and skiis.

It is indeed one of the best freeride spots of the world in a fantastic atmosphere due to the wild environment and that local relaxed freeride community. I have been here a couple of times and skied already with the American guide Joe Vallone when he just arrived here in La Grave, a great guy!

Despite the wonderful place, skiing techinque etc I am impressed also with the videomaking; filming a good (not boring) ski movie is SO DIFFICULT, I tried myself a couple of times; make some decent footage is so time consuming in the field and in post production

I wish you wouldn't edit out side-slipping in the couloirs. I'd wager that most of us watching these videos want to know what its really like up there, but all the video makers edit out anything thats not a jump turn or a rappel because it doesn't seem cool (and also to keep the video length under control). But the coolest thing would be uncut or mostly-uncut video of the technical part of the descent.

Extreme environments, where a special breed of people are drawn to in order to test themselves to the max, will claim the lives of some of them but Still, they Come... Respect.

It's kind of funny. I get that skiing La Grave is "extreme", but it seems like it's extreme because it's crud. Hard to get to, not that great snow that just covers a lot of rocks lurking to destroy your ski/snowboard base. Sooooo many better places to ski/ride in the world, and less crowded. Almost anywhere in western Canada and U.S. comes to mind. I've done a fair bit of touring and ridden some wicked cool terrain, but looking at this movie, makes me scratch my head.

Really beautiful! Thank you for your work, your movies are the best ski movie. I have a question, my internet speed is not so fast so I can't watch in high resolution and for this kind of movies it's a real scandal ;-). Do you have a solution for the poor internet connection, like me? (when I pause the movie, youtube download only 2 minutes and it's stop)

I skied La Grave many years during the 90's and early 2000 when I did most of the classics, Pans de Rideaux, Chirouze , not to mention tree skiing on snowy days under the cable car. It leaves you with memories for your whole life. Unfortunately, it has become too crowded. I have now gone in search for the tiny forgotten ski resorts that dot the French, Swiss and Italian Alps, the ones that are out of the way, the places that you can only reach with touring equipment and several hours of hiking. You can get powder days when only you are making tracks and the magic of feeling isolated from the rest of humanity is still alive.

LG wasn't that busy on middle of weeks on seasons 2014...2018 when I was around. On weekend bluebird mornings it was just better to chill out. I just went to that small pub opposite side of the road and had a coffee or a beer while and a snack while waiting the que to vanish.. which was about 10AM usually. Then I took a condola of my own without all the stressed people, started righ taway with Triffide 1 or 2 which were quite often not tracked at all. Skied the skiers right of Vallon to the Village. Took lift up... After P2 it was easy to observe if some group had allready followed my tracks to T1 and T2 and if the track to P2 had been opened... From P2 all the nice forrest runs are available after skiing the Triffides...

Same boat, Chamonix and la grave are so crowded I'll never go again. Skied these in the 80's 90's last time in 2010. So crowded with posers you couldn't get on the valley buses. So I go elsewhere.

Freedom is great, as is full personal responsibility. The problem lies with who pays when rescue, possibly by helicopter, followed by gigantic medical expenses happens. Extreme skiers mostly don't have the money to pay for such outcomes. So, it is false to claim they're 'responsible' when others are made to pay for the consequences (i.e. bills, risks to rescuers, etc.)

Super vidéo ! Enfin une belle vidéo "pro" qui montre l'esprit et les possibilités de La Grave ! Ca fait 20 ans que j'y vais, et à chaque fois je me dit que j'ai de la chance d'avoir connu ça ! En 2018, c'est super rare, maintenant ils dament partout avec leurs immenses ratrack, faisant des grands boulevards où l'on peut aller tout droit, c'est n'importe quoi, quel est l'intérêt ? Encaisser un maximum de forfaits en fait...La Grave est un dernier espace de Liberté, profitez-en !...mais entrainez vous d'abord, il faut tout de même une bonne condition physique et un bon niveau de ski pour s'attaquer à La Grave !
