The Western Alpine slope Le Pied Moutet that is pampered by sun in the mornings and whose at the most medium-hard passages reach up to 2.100 meters and lead down to the village Mont de Lans through the woods is adequate for beginners and advanced skiers. In spite of Alpine surroundings, beginners are able to explore the region on blue slopes, while the more secure skiers can go left and right, and get their kick on difficult slopes, fun mogul passages or exciting routes. The slopes for beginners were significantly expanded during the last years, also adding a new one, to facilitate the return to the station.

Another highlight for passionate skiers is the legendary slope from the Dôme de la Lauze over the glacier all the way to the village La Grave at 1450 meters. The reason: Once oyu have left the glacier above you, you can either dare to go in extremely steep and narrow channels, or choose gentler slopes to get downhill.

Then you continue on with T bar lifts just under the peak of the 3669 meter high Pic de la Grave.
