From the Plaine Morte at 3,000 m to the resort at 1,500 m, set off to explore a wide variety of pistes for all levels, looking out over breathtaking panoramas. In front of you is a ring of peaks that are all over 4,000 m high. Enjoy these views from one of the 15 mountain terraces that are bathed in sunshine, where you can sample delicious traditional dishes. For freestyle enthusiasts, there's a Snowpark where the most adventurous skiers can get creative on a variety of jumps and rails.
The youngest skiers can be found at Arnouva, where a brand-new magic carpet lift, a snow kindergarten and a restaurant will make their first experience on snow an unforgettable one. At the end of the day, make sure you stop off at the Cry d'Er Club on the pistes or in one of the après-ski bars at the departure point of any of the 3 gondolas in the resort, where you’re guaranteed to find a great atmosphere.
