Before you go
Check the avalanche bulletin and the snow depth before deciding. Off-piste you need a transceiver, shovel and probe, and to know how to use them. With fresh snow or strong wind, stay on gentle terrain.
There is not always phone coverage in the mountains: download the map before you go, tell someone your plan and call 112 in any emergency. These data come from OpenStreetMap and the weather forecast; confirm with the resort and official sources.
