Trieuse blue piste: Chances are, if you’re making your way into Plagne Bellecôte from anywhere right of the satellite (on the piste map), you’ll end up on Trieuse. Aside from Petite Rochette followed by Leitchoums, it’s pretty much the only route to access this side of the mountain without dropping over to the Champagny sector and taking routes from there.

Trieuse starts near the top of the Colosses chair before various routes flow into its path. The gradient is shallow for most of the top section, then there’s a slightly steeper pitch under the Colosses chair. Try to carry speed at the top to avoid walking the long flat before the restaurant on your left below the Colosses.

La Plagne intermediate piste Trieuse: Think of Trieuse as the main ‘funnel’ into Bellecôte from Centre / Villages / Soleil — super useful, but it’s exactly why it can get chaotic.

Lower down, it can get very busy — especially in the steeper section above Bellecôte where novice riders tend to jam things a little, and the run can mogul up fast. After this short section, it mellows again as it rolls into the main Bellecôte lift hub.

Top tip: Keep your speed early on to make the long flat mid-way without a walk, then give people plenty of space in the steeper section above Bellecôte where traffic and moguls build quickly.

Trieuse blue piste: A super practical link into Bellecôte with loads of little side hits and easy off-piste access — but it’s busy, often mogulled, and the long flat mid-way catches people out.
