Freeriding in Andorra
The first thing you need to know about freeriding is that it is done away from the traditional slopes, on powder snow. Off-piste skiing is more than a form of skiing: it is about experiencing the mountain in its purest and wildest state, in a way that few other sports can offer.
By skiing or snowboarding off-piste, you are facing nature in its truest form, challenging yourself to overcome challenges that come your way. However, it is not a sport to be taken lightly. It involves risks and demands a high level of skill and preparation. It’s not for everyone, but if you have a good level of skiing and proper preparation, freeriding can offer you unparalleled experiences.
