The old village of La Grave provides a quiet haven where mountaineers, skiers and snowboarders can relax and rejuvenate before they head out for another terrifying day on the mountain. Famous for climbing and tough off-piste skiing, La Grave rates fairly high on many a serious mountaineers list of places to do.
La Grave is truly rustic and should be sought as a destination by those who know their sport and don’t require glitzy hotels or banging night clubs. A reasonable choice of hotels and guesthouses provide fairly basic comforts and several restaurants provide ample variety on the refreshment front.
