Built in 2015, the gondola out of Montalbert replaced the previous two-stage chairlift system out of the satellite. This ten-person gondolas whisks skiers and snowboarders up the 620m rise in just over 6 minutes – making it also one of the fastest lifts in the area. From the top, riders gain access to the full Montalbert sector and its mix of easy, winding blues and reds through the trees – as well as some of the best off-piste in the whole area. When it snows, this is a great area to come to as it tends to stay quiet and fresh tracks are possible for longer than in the busier areas of La Plagne. Also, the extensive tree cover provides shelter and helps break up the cloud and snow on bad weather days.

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.
