Plagne Bellecôte Ourson green
La Plagne beginner piste Ourson: Ourson is served by a magic carpet lift, widely considered the easiest type of lift for first-timers.
Once the basics are there, the Arpette lift is right next door, opening up gentle blue options like Dunes, Lainés and the Arpette run itself.

Ourson pros and cons
Ourson green piste: A brilliant, stress-free beginner slope in the heart of Plagne Bellecôte — but you’ll outgrow it quickly.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Good beginner area | You’ll soon want to progress further up the hill |
| Very close to Bellecôte | |
| Restaurants nearby | |
| Served by magic carpet | |
| Uplift provided free |
Heading into unfamiliar terrain?
Quick tip: Even straightforward pistes can change quickly with weather, visibility and traffic. Good cover means lift evacuation, medical help and rescue costs are handled if something goes wrong — which in the Alps can otherwise be expensive.
If you haven’t sorted cover yet, it’s worth doing before your trip.
