10 PHOTOS

1. Streif, Kitzbühel. The legendary and unpredictable track where the famous Hahnenkamm races take place. Do you think that you have bought skis and a ski jacket (http://baon.ru/discount/womenwear/ski-wear/kurtki/) and you can conquer any track? The Streif track requires maximum attention and concentration throughout its entire length.

2. Kobert, Jackson. Every professional skier should pass this route at least once. Beginners on this track for a long time do not dare to descend, watching others and gain courage. Jumps, a large angle of descent, and obstacles - that's what awaits you on this track.

3. La Chavanette, Avoriaz. This route is also called the "Swiss Wall" and it strikes terror into the hearts of those who are going to go down it. "For experts only" - the signs on the top say. There is no place for beginners on this track and it is not surprising. The descent angle is so steep that it takes some skiers time to decide.

4 Delirium Dive, Banff Delirium Dive is a very steep slope on Goat's Eye mountain in Sunshine Village. In addition to the fact that this descent is very steep, it has the danger of an avalanche.

5. Grand Couloir, Courchevel. Another dangerous ski slope. The descent along it is a real test of survival.

6. Tortin, Verbier. Wide and very steep slope. The greatest danger lies in icy areas.

7. Harakiri, Mayrhofen. The name of this route in Austria speaks for itself. The track has a segment where the angle of descent reaches 78 degrees.

8. Le Tunnel, Alpe d'Huez. Very long, 16 km descent. And very complex. The difficulty of the descent is dictated by weather conditions.

9. Face de Bellevarde. Val d'Isère. This track was built for the 1992 Winter Olympics. At first glance, the route does not seem difficult. But in fact, it is not easy to pass the track and only a well-trained skier can do it.

10. La Grave, France This small resort is simply adored by extreme skiers. The track in La Grave is considered one of the most difficult in the world. Sheer cliffs, cracks, avalanche danger, and bad weather - that's what awaits you on this track.
