In the fifth of our Backcountry Guides series Chamonix Mountain Guide Guy Willet explains what to look for in avalanche search and rescue equipment and how to use it.
Idris Skis in Chamonix produce handmade skis built from recycled flooring. Here Tom talks us through the process.
The mountains look stunning from the air and the quietest and most peaceful way to see them is on a paragliding wing. This video was shot in Chamonix in the summer but paragliding is a very popular winter sport too and it's available in nearly every ski resort in the Alps. You don't need to be very fit to try it either. If you can ski or jog for 10 meters then you can fly. Just be sure to wrap up warm!
Intermediates and above will appreciate the vast range of Avoriaz which has nearly 250kms of reds and blues to choose from.
Downhill, Cross-country and road cyclists are spoiled for choice in the Portes du Soliel. National downhill tracks, Tour de France routes and cross country rides in two countries. What ever your style or passion if it's on a bike, it's in the Portes du Soleil
The Jump Park is a popular destination in Les Gets.
For the first of our Mountainbike trail guides we teamed up with Morzine Mountainbike Mechanics to bring you this look at the blue run Chatellane over in Chatel.
One of the key elements in ski touring is efficiency. Equipment is built to be light weight for this reason but it it is not enough to have carbon fibre poles and the latest boots if you don't move in an efficient way.
If you go down to the woods in Morzine....you'll find plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy.
If you're looking to perfect a trick on your board, who better to teach you than pro snowboarder and Avoriaz local Nico Droz?
The Fantasticable in the Portes du Soleil is the only one of its kind in the Alps.
Ski touring is one of the best ways to enjoy the mountains. Far from the lift queues and ski school snakes, it is just you, fresh air, and the mountains.
From the centre of town in Morzine the Pleney cable car lifts you to the summit in a matter of minutes.
Snow chains can make driving in wintry conditions safer and easier but fitting them can be tricky if you haven't done it before. Watch this video to see how it's done.
Guy Willet from Dream Guides in Chamonix talks us through the basics of backcountry hiking. Using touring bindings and specialist ski touring boots you can hike through un-pisted areas to discover untamed slopes or just scenic views.
There are three official, marked runs from the top of the Pleney.
Every year, when the lifts open, I rush excitedly to the top of the hill, strap into my board and set off for the first run of the new season. The cold, clear air in my nose and the sun on my cheeks I can't keep the smile off my face as the fresh snow creaks under my board. The whole day lies ahead from first lifts to last call. Or it would if I wasn't sweating, panting and massaging the cramp out of my calves at the end of the first run.
Surely the fastest way to get to the Alps is to fly? Or is it........?
