Ski Patrol and Rescue Services

While the freeride terrain of La Grave is unpatrolled in the conventional sense of a groomed piste, a highly skilled mountain rescue team (CRS Montagne) operates in the area. Visitors are strongly advised to carry appropriate safety gear (avalanche beacon, shovel, probe) and know how to use it. Emergency calls should be directed to 112. The cost of rescue in France can be substantial without proper insurance.
