Alagna is internationally known for being the freeride capital of the Alps. The reason for this great quantity of routes is in the particular morphological shape of the main valley, steep but at the same time with several lateral smaller valleys Comb shape which permit a huge exploitation of the territory. Plus, thanks of the difference in height form the top of the ridges (Monte Rosa is ) to the bottom of the valley (Alagna itself is only at ), most routes cover a huge slope. The landscape is wild, severe and very impressive. The majority of the itineraries are around the Punta Giordani and the wild area of the Malfatta . Rides include that of Balma, which crosses the entire Bors Valley form Indren () to Pastore Hut , and the alternatives routes starting from Passo dei Salati (): Canale a Y, Canale Rettilineo, Canale Obliquo, Canale Longhez, all around the 45°. There are other itineraries in the Otro Valley (Passo Zube S3+, Passo della Coppa S3+, Canale Jschechette S4+), close to Corno Bianco (). By Eliski itineraries include Il Cavallo (starting point around ), Rizzetti and Il Turlo. Extreme rides are Perazzi Couloir along Punta Parrot (, 55°) and Sesia Couloir (60° and 65° close to the ridge) between Punta Gnifetti () and Punta Parrot.
