La Plagne’s Aime 2000 satellite must be one of the only ski resorts in the world where you start the day riding down to the lifts – and one of the main ways out of the station is on the Golf blue which leaves right from the back door. This gentle piste is served by a rather slow chair of the same name but offers fantastic views over the Tarentaise valley towards Mont Blanc.

For beginner/intermediate riders, it proves a real treat as they get a taste of high mountain riding – without the steepness normally associated with top-of-resort runs in many other ski areas. Although there is only one run marked on the piste map, in truth, Golf is actually a wide-open area that stretches from the main Aime building over to the Dromadaire lift. From the perspective of a novice, it’s a perfect place to learn and improve skills.

Pros
  • One of the best beginner areas
  • Wide with good run-off
  • Bars / restaurants nearby at Aime
  • Great views over Mont Blanc
Cons
  • Can get busy
  • Golf chair is very slow
