The vibe
Slashing through deep powder in the high peaks feels refreshingly uncommercialized, lacking the concrete monoliths and sprawling lift queues of the Alps. January and February deliver the most reliable snowpacks for both lift-assisted touring and human-powered ascents. The vibe is a mix of old-school local enthusiasm and low-key touring, where a paper lift ticket gets you onto aging infrastructure and straight into vast, untracked bowls.
