The very short Les Mines red piste really is more of a link piste than anything else – either for people returning back to Plagne 1800 or for those wanting to link over to Aime 2000 bypassing the usual routes through Plagne Centre and instead of taking the 1800 chair up to Aime.

La Plagne advanced piste Les Mines

The Les Mines run shares the same start section with Loup Garou which passes first over the main La Plagne access road then under another road bridge before opening out at a semi-steep pitch above 1800. Going right puts you onto the Loup Garou blue whereas staying vaguely left will drop you at the top of the short Les Mines piste.

The Les Mines piste is enjoyable enough but you certainly wouldn’t find yourself lapping it – due in part to the slow speed of the Mélèzes chair back up, plus the walk along the flat at the top to the bridge section.

The Les Mines run has two semi-steep pitches before terminating at the base of the chair. Riders linking to other areas should go straight on here, past the Praconduit green and short drag lift to link onto the 1800 chair up to Aime.

Pros
  • Interesting run
  • Accesses Plagne 1800
  • Feels a bit like a video game
  • Go straight at bottom to link to 1800 chair then up to Aime
Cons
  • Extremely short
  • Very much a link run
  • Mélèzes back up is very slow
  • The bottom of this run can get icy
