Pierres Blanches is another of Montchavin’s hugely enjoyable blue pistes which cuts and traverses its way through the forested area high above the village. The run starts just above the tree-line next to the top of the chair of the same name and also the base of the Dos Rond and Plan Leschaux lifts. If you’re coming from the direction of the summit, just stay right as you near the restaurant. The Mont Blanc drops away to the left while Pierres Blanches is pretty much straight on. After a short flat section, you’ll veer right before reaching the junction with Myrtilles (left). Stay on the main run here and, after travelling right for a little while, the run will soon veer to the left as you drop towards the joining point with the Mont Blanc piste. Pierres Blanches is always quieter than the Mont Blanc piste so can be a top tip when the resort is busier. Also, freestyle riders will enjoy the multiple opportunities for side-hits all the way down. Alternatively, when there’s fresh snow (and if you have the skills), try dropping off to the right into the woods. The trees here are quite tightly bunched and on a pretty steep slope but, if you find a good line, you can get multiple laps in here taking the Pierres Blanches chair back up.
