Which skier are you?

There are always different profiles of skiers on the slopes: those who are more addicted to downhill skiing and powder, those who are more ‘ski cool’ and finally those who love sunny terraces.

Even if you’ve probably already got an idea of who you are, count your answers and discover your skier profile and our little tips on Villard/Corrençon for you!

Published on 3 February 2023

1- Which package are you?

🔵 Season pass: no time to wait at the ticket office and you don’t have to miss out on any good conditions to get out!

🟣 Day pass: the conditions are right, the pass is bought online and already in your pocket!

⚪ 3h ski pass: a short day’s skiing in prospect, bought online for the farsighted and on the spot for the less impatient!

2- First track or sleeping in:

⚪ No hurry, the snow won’t disappear in a day

🔵 Wake up at 6am to be the first to make tracks. Only way to get the day off to a good start!

🟣 Quickly on the slopes, but still, we’ve got time to have breakfast and wait for the first rays of sunshine.

3- Your favourite track is :

🔵 La Choucas – the little black one that makes your legs happy

⚪ Salamandre – a long, gently sloping connecting trail

🟣 Canyon – between fir trees and cliffs, a magical setting that only Villard-Corrençon can offer

4- On the slopes, you tend to :

🟣 All carving and beautiful curves

⚪ Snow plough, there’s nothing better

🔵 Straight down the slope, in full schuss position

5 – In the group, you are :

🟣 Waiting for the others at the various intersections,

🔵 Waiting at the bottom of the runway,

⚪ I’m the one they’re waiting for…

6 – Lunch break:

🔵 Sandwich break by the slopes, it’s all about making the most of the snow

🟣 Small terrace in the sun with the meal that feels good!

⚪ Terrace at lunchtime, but also a snack break in the morning AND afternoon, so you can rest your legs a bit.

The answers

🔵 Team accro 🤟

Your spatulas are itching and if the conditions are excellent, but there’s no way you’re going to miss a minute of sliding. The powder, the sliding sensations, the turns … from the first centimetres of snow, you’re the first on the slopes.

Our advice to you

Your run: La Chamois
Your breakfast spot: Cabane de l’ourson or at the top of the Belvédère chairlift

🟣 Team ski cool ⛷️

Preferably under a beautiful sun and with good snow, you have the profile of the cool skier! Someone who wants to have a great day on the slopes, but who also wants to have fun. On the programme: no headaches! You’re the pros for a top day out!

Our advice to you

Your run: La bouquetin
Your breakfast spot: L’Altitude 2000

⚪ Team I love skiing but skiing doesn’t love me ❄️

A ski outing? OK, but only if: the snow is fresh, the weather’s good, it’s not too crowded, it’s not too cold… Maybe you’re a bit less of a skiing fan, but still like to get down a few slopes and feel the thrill of the glide. These days are 100% fun for you too, but we’ll save your legs a little with our pretty terraces in our high-altitude restaurants.

Our advice to you

Your slope: La Salamandre
Your breakfast spot: Crêperie de l’Ours blanc
