Bellecôte glacier piste Rochu

show
The Bellecôte glacier piste Rochu drops from the top of the new Glaciers gondola. Both this run and Bellecôte black give the impression of being far away from the main area and drop for an impressive length down to the base of the Châlet de Bellecôte chair.

La Plagne expert piste Rochu
Unfortunately, the glacier used to be frequently closed due to the old aging gondola (just the same as all the runs in this area), meaning access was often impossible – and explaining why we have so little footage from this part of La Plagne.
Pros

- Very good after fresh snow
- Easy access off-piste riding
