For those who know how to ski and looking for the ultimate
challenge, here’s our top 10 black ski slopes in Europe.10 - Grand Couloir, Courchevel, France
A nice wide slope for those who want a challenge but enough space around themselves. For those who want more of a challenge, there’s the Sous Pylons or Emile Allais jumps to master.
9 – La Face, Meribel, France
Possibly the hardest slope to find in Europe but well worth finding. A natural slope that hasn’t been touched too much by human hand, or should I say ski.
8 – Courchevel, France
This ungroomed patch of snow is full of lots of huge bumps. Perfect for the more technical skier.
7 – Cime de Caron, Val Thorens, France
This slope has it all, with a number of different ski runs perfect for those that like the powder.
6 - Tortin, Verbier, Switzerland
This is the perfect first black slope. The further you get down the slope, the more your adrenaline pumps as the slope gets harder and harder, but wide enough to bail out when it gets too much.
5 - La Chavanette, Avoriaz, France
Known as ‘the Swiss wall’, this is one of Europe’s most steep and rapid slopes. Famous for its hidden ‘wall’, a steep but wide 200m slope.
4 – Flypaper, Glencoe, Scotland
With stunning views the steepest piste black run in Scotland is a must visit.
3 - Face de Bellevarde Resort Val d'Isère, France
Home of the 1992 Winter Olympics, this slope is long and consistently difficult. You’ll need to be quick witted to master this course.
2- Zermatt, Switzerland
There is no easing into this slope, as it begins with a very difficult path from the very top. Good skill is needed if not to exhaust yourself by the time you reach the bottom
1 - Le Tunnel Resort Alpe d'Huez, France
Skiing through the 60m wide tunnel through the rock is a challenge, but worth it to see the picturesque views on the other side. It’s also home to the longest black run in Europe, the 16km Sarenn.
