The ideal snowboard terrain

Beyond the snow parks, this is what to look for when riding all-mountain:

Wide, well-groomed slopes

Resorts with wide slopes are ideal for carving on a snowboard:

Val Gardena: perfect motorway-wide runs
Alta Badia: velvety corduroy
Sestriere: wide Olympic slopes

Off-piste snowboarding

Experienced riders look for powder and natural terrain:

Alagna: freeride capital, superb on a board
Cervinia: open slopes above 3,000 m
Sella Nevea: abundant snow in the Julian Alps

Flat sections: where to take care

Flat sections are a constant headache for snowboarders. These are the places to watch out for:

The Sella Ronda: some connecting sections mean skating along
Ski areas with lots of cat-track connections

Tip: before choosing a resort, check the piste maps and look for runs with a steady gradient.
