10 tips for skiing the SWISS WALL (Mur Suisse / Pas de Chavanette)

[@johnconnor7623]

Had our first ever family ski holiday and lessons with Mark back in 2015/16. We are returning again this New Year, a slightly better skier so will hopefully attempt the Wall or perhaps view it from the chair lift 😆 great video and tips

Cheers John, you might spot mark in a green jacket, keep an eye out! Enjoy

What a great video! I did the Swiss Wall several times when I was younger ... Next season we're back in Les Portes du Soleil (I think for me it wil be for the around thirtied time - I don't remember it!) and maybe we'll attack the Swiss Wall ... I say maybe ... because I experienced the difficulty and the need of souplesse and physical form. Now I'm 71 so ... we'll see ...

glad you enjoyed it. I skiid it with my dad when I was a kid a bout 20 years ago, and then again with him last winter when he was 70 when the snow was optimal. Be careful though! don't underestimate how dangerous and tiring it is. you can easily experience it all up close and personal just by down loading the chairlift

@@Avoriazskischool I certainly won't underestimate it! Attack only with good conditions en clear weather!

Excellent vid. That clip down a narrow steep section between rocks made me go "naaahh!" 😆. Presume that's not a section of the Swiss wall?

Thanks ! the couloir you mention isn't near the Swiss Wall no, although it is less than about 10km from it as the crow flies

Check out the Swiss kids in the background starting at 5:09.

I felt sick just watching it. I'll stick to my green, blue and occasional reds, but great video btw😂

[@Avoriazskischool]

thanks! Sorry for the vertigo 😆

what kind of ski are you using

[@Avoriazskischool]

those were Wayback 106 with a Duke PT. Love them. Super fun for off piste and touring. Not optimum for mogul skiing but still do a great job
