Ariège is ready to welcome addicts of fresh snow and spatulas, offering freeride skiing for all levels!

In Ariège, fromAx-3-Domains, Guzet, Ascou, or the Monts d'Olmes, it is impossible not to find what you are looking for!
safe on my skis!
Before leaving don't forget to:
- Consult the Avalanche Risk Assessment Bulletin (BERA) which can be consulted online on the website of Météo France !
- Take the essential trio: Shovel, probe, DVA (Avalanche Victim Detector) with new batteries 😉
- Take a first aid kit
- Go with a good friend
- Practice using your safety equipment several times in order to master them perfectly on the day of the outing.
- Knowing how to give up: the state of the snow, the weather factors, the physical form are the essential combo before going to ride.
But the ideal is to go with an instructor or a high mountain guide, they know the corners and the snow conditions, even if in the mountains you can never rule out the risk completely, starting with professionals is more security and a lot of fun !!!
