The Ourson beginner piste is located right outside the main Bellecôte buildings, ridiculously convenient for beginner skiers and snowboarders unfamiliar with carrying their equipment. Also, the proximity to both accommodation and bars / restaurants means taking a well-earned break is made even easier. Ourson is served by a magic carpet lift – again, ideal for beginners (carpets are widely regarded as the easiest type of lifts to learn on). Once the basic skills are there, the Arpette lift is right next door with its range of relatively easy blues – Dunes, Laines and the Arpette run itself.

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 run if you have actually been down it.
