A Total Vertical Drop Of 8000m

There are some bragging rights that go with having skied our four fabulous descents each with a vertical drop of almost 2000m and each with no lifts required.

• Le Pic Blanc 3330m to La Villette 1295m
• Le Pic Blanc 3330m to L’Enversin d’Oz 1125m
• Le Pic Blanc 3330m to Oz en Oisans 1350m
• Le Pic Blanc 3330m to Gorges de Sarenne 1510m

Once upon a time no one would have believed you, but since 2009/10 you can authenticate your ‘First 8000m’ by validating your piste map. The ski lift staff at the start of the Pic Blanc cable car as well as the staff at the arrival of each of the 4 descents will validate your piste map.
Your achievement will be recorded by Piste Services and in exchange for just 1 euro you’ll be awarded a diploma. Even better news: the donation will go to the charity “A Chacun son Everest’ (Each Their Everest) designed and run by Doctor Christine Janin to help children with difficulties reach their own goals – so in some ways you really are Skiing Everest With Ski Peak!

The"Champagne Run"

The greatest on-piste vertical decent linked to a lift system IN THE WORLD (3300-1100m). The Famous Champage Run

Fancy a challenge? Well, this is one of the biggest and best on snow! At least once a week (conditions permitting) our intrepid Ski Peak Leaders take a small group of brave souls up to Pic Blanc at 3300m and begin an incredible descent down the world renowned Tunnel piste, continuing down Les Rousses and La Fare, a combination of black and red runs dropping more than two thousands two hundred metres without you having to get on any lifts. It is truly a great feeling of achievement and quite a rush to have completed such a feat and the celebrations continue into the evening in the Hotel Rissiou bar. Why ‘Champagne’ run? Because there is no better way to mark this achievement than with a free MAGNUM OF CHAMPAGNE prize draw in the hotel bar for those who complete. Sharing with your new fellow ‘Club 2200m members’ is of course optional, but encouraged.
