Biolley piste Grande Pente
The Grande Pente black is accessed directly off the top of the Crêtes drag lift, above the Becoin chair near Aime 2000. As you get off the poma, just head slightly left from the top.
The first section of the Grande Pente run is pretty steep and, in the right snow, can be a joy to ride. However, as the season progresses, the bumps can get massive as this is another of La Plagne’s ‘Natur’ pistes (meaning it remains unpisted).
Once you’ve got through the initial steep section on Grande Pente, the run soon mellows and the bowl becomes shallower. As a result, the main challenge lies in the top section of this run – particularly when it’s bumpy.
Note – it can be quite tempting to try some of the steeper stuff in this area but be warned – you really need to know what you’re doing as this is one of the most avalanche-prone areas in the whole of La Plagne. The best idea for exploring this area is by getting a La Plagne guide.
- Great scenery
- Fun after fresh snow
- Multiple routes into the bowl at top
- Fast access via Becoin chair > Crêtes
- Very avalanche prone
- Crêtes poma frequently closed
