Hello everyone,
Theres 12 of us off to Belle Plagne in early March and its our first visit to this resort. A number of our group are beginners, the rest being intermediate (++) skiers. I'd be grateful if anyone could provide any advice on the best runs for the beginner skiers to tackle first and ski schools if poss. Any info on the best blue.reds would also be appreciated!!
Have fun,
Steve )

Hi Steve,
I have had the fortune to go twice to Belle Plagne.
I would say the the following runs would be ideal:-
1. Les Laines
2. L'arpette
3. Les Dunnes
4. St Jacques
All are wide blue runs and not too steep.
Le Tunnel run is great, but can be quite steep near the top of the run, but should be easy enough by the end of the week.
I hope it helps...
Gavin

Been to Belle Plagne 3 times, going again in Feb 08. Fantastic resort, great skiing. Took absolute beginners last year, and had no problem finding plenty of skiing for them. Would recommend:
1)Arpette ( after 3 or 4 days ski school, as slightly steeper as bottom)
2)Go to top of Roche de Mio on Belle Plagne gondala down Carella, up short chair(Quillis), and then down resort runs ( Les Blanchets/Les Ours) into Belle Plagne. Stock runs that you can do again and again.
3) Up Arpette Chair (clutchable), over the top and down to Monchavin/Les Coches. Nearly all the runs here are Blue, tree lined. My recommendation.
4) Over in Champagny: Le Serac, La Rossa,Les Crepines all great for learners, and intermediates alike. All from same chair (Rossa), and from the top of this chair you can join the resort runs back to Belle Plagne.
5)Don't do Tunnel with beginners unless very good snow.
As far as ski schools, best is Oxygene in Plagne Centre. Lots of english workers, and good instructors. They will usually pick up and return clients to/from Belle Plagne, until beginners are competent enough to ski it.
