Year on year, the Bergerie chair below Plagne Soleil tops the list of busiest lifts in La Plagne so, if possible, it’s really best to try and avoid it. Bergerie is used as the primary access link between the Centre / 1800 sides of the mountain and the Belle Plagne / Bellecôte sector. It’s also extremely popular with ski schools and definitely best avoided after 10am through the busy holiday periods. If you’re staying in Soleil or Villages, it’s quicker to take the Dou du Praz and link over using the Bretelle Trieuse – while those staying in 1800, Centre or Aime could consider taking the Funiplagne followed by Mira and branching onto Trieuse to access Bellecôte. If you do take the Bergerie, options at the top include Dolines (for Centre), Trieuse (for Bellecôte) or Écartée back to Soleil / Villages. The lift itself is quite quick – it’s just the sheer number of users that frequently causes problems.

We want to build a comprehensive guide to La Plagne’s pistes and lifts to help other users make the most of their holiday. Please only vote for this lift if you have actually been on it.
