Beginners: Five free magic carpets around the Croisette and Bruyères areas offer easy starts. Smooth greens like Montagnette return gently to the village for hassle-free home runs.
Intermediates: Quiet, well-groomed blues and reds spread over La Masse and Pointe de la Masse. Long descents with consistent pitch and fewer crowds than neighbouring resorts make mileage a pleasure.
Advanced & off-piste: The Lac Noir run from La Masse is a leg-burner. Off-piste fans explore the Liberty Ride zones, patrolled but ungroomed, before heading to Val Thorens for steeper options.
Snowboarding: BK Park above La Becca chair provides jumps and rails for all levels, while the Pixel Area offers a fun skicross course. Natural powder fields off La Masse keep freeriders happy.
