Omar, another expert skier, recommends skiing "all day long" through these forested sections. The tree runs offer a great escape from the main slopes, with Richard, an intermediate skier, mentioning some "hidden gems if you look closely."

One Snomad community member liked that the lower runs weave through beautiful forests, making for a magical skiing experience. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said the terrain offers both beauty and technical interest. The blue Foret run back from Les Arcs is particularly popular, while the tree-covered areas provide ample opportunity for all skill levels. When powder falls, these wooded sections offer protected, challenging natural ski zones to explore.
