You’ve probably heard of this one – it’s known as the Swiss Wall. You’ll quickly realise why as you journey up the Chavanette chairlift.

Once you’ve navigated your way through huddles of nervous school kids, you’ll find yourself at the top of a pretty monster run.

The first 50 to 100m is the most troubling segment with a 55% gradient and covered in moguls deserving of their own drag lifts. This is definitely a no-fall zone, as once you get going you won’t stop ’til you hit the base. 

It lies on the border of France and Switzerland in the Portes du Soleil. So you begin in France and get a stiff drink at the bottom in Switzerland.
