Best Runs in La Plagne
La Plagne's huge ski area means there's something for everyone, but here are the runs that really deliver:
-
Praline (Green): A long, gently winding run that's ideal for absolute beginners building confidence over distance.
-
Arpette (Green): Wide and forgiving with minimal gradient, making it a favourite spot for ski schools and first-timers.
-
Becoin (Blue): A mellow cruiser linking Belle Plagne to Plagne Centre, perfect for warming up your legs in the morning.
-
Les Inversens (Blue): A sweeping, wide piste that's great for practising carved turns without worrying about crowds or steep sections.
-
Emile Allais (Blue): A long, scenic blue that takes you from the glacier area down towards Plagne Centre with consistent pitch and excellent grooming.
-
Crozats (Red): A proper thigh-burner that drops sharply from the top of the Roche de Mio, offering sustained steeps and brilliant snow-holding.
-
Chavière (Red): A wide, open red that's perfect for opening up your turns and building speed on well-groomed corduroy.
-
Chiaupe (Red): Tree-lined and often quieter than the main reds, this run's a great shout when visibility drops or you fancy a bit of shelter.
-
Coqs (Black): A steep, mogul-heavy classic that gets properly gnarly by afternoon and will test your technique and stamina.
-
Levasset (Black): Short but seriously steep with tight turns required, this one's a favourite for advanced skiers looking to push themselves without committing to a marathon descent.
