Intro

This run certainly merits its name: in 1987, the "Piste Nationale” saw three Swiss athletes on the world championship medals podium.

This run really is of national importance to Switzerland, ever since the country's crack downhill skiers swept the board at the 1987 world championships with all the medals. But the piste is also suitable for slower skiers: mesmerising views of the Lower Valais, the orchards of Sierre and Sion and the superb tracts of forest are a delight for connoisseurs. However, the steep passage at the start should not be underestimated.
