Tetras red piste: This run was formerly called Rossa Bas and flows naturally from Rossa above it. If you come that route, when you join Tetras, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re still on the same run — but it’s graded separately to the piste above.
It’s marked as red, although it’s a pretty generous grading and is likely only down to being slightly steeper than the Rossa blue that precedes it. Most riders of most abilities will get down just fine – and this is helped by the fact it’s very short.

La Plagne advanced piste Tetras: For most riders, Tetras is basically a link piste. At the bottom, you’ve got two main choices. Head right to take the Borseliers chair back up, or continue left on the Les Bois (now graded black) all the way down to Champagny village.
This run is most often used first thing in the morning by anyone staying down in Champagny looking to get out and access the bigger area via the Borseliers chair. If you don’t fancy doing a red, you could take the Borseliers III drag lift instead. It drops you right next to the top of the chair anyway.
Tetras can get a little busy at times (eg first thing in the morning), and there’s a bit of a camber pulling you to skier’s right down most of the run.

Quick tip: Champagny is one of the most rewarding sectors in La Plagne, but it still makes sense to sort your equipment before you arrive. Booking online usually means better prices, better availability and a much smoother first morning once you get to resort.
Choose a shop close to your accommodation so collecting your gear is quick and easy before heading up the mountain.

Tetras red piste: A quick pros and cons table — useful if you’re treating this as a pure link run or continuing straight into Les Bois.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Link from Champagny | Can get busy |
| Wide and forgiving | Camber to the right |
| Feeds into Les Bois (now black) | |
| Great scenery |
Quick tip: Champagny might have a quieter feel, but it still gives access to serious terrain. In France, rescue and evacuation costs can be charged to you even on marked pistes, so it’s worth sorting proper cover before your trip.
Good ski insurance helps cover medical treatment, lift evacuation and cancellation if something goes wrong before or during your holiday.
