In general, the highest concentration of black runs in La Plagne is to be found up in the glacier sector and also over the back of Becoin in the bowl behind the Montalbert sector. While the runs here are quite testing, they all share a very similar gradient to one another – apart from Étroits at the head of the valley.

Access to three of these runs – Coqs, Morbleu and Palsembleu – is direct off the top of the Becoin chair (Étroits requires the Crêtes poma for access). As is common with the other blacks in this area, Morbleu features a short flat section at the top before the slope drops away into a medium-length steep section. While it is steep, there’s nothing particularly challenging about this run – well, not for riders used to tougher blacks in other resorts.

At the bottom, Morbleu joins the lower section of the Étroits piste – a long pathway which then joins the Halles blue back to the base of the Adrets chair and Envers chair. Note, all the blacks in this sector are marked as ‘Natur’, meaning they remain unpisted. Consequently, the bumps can get fearsome later in the season. Also, there are good options for off-piste riding in this area but for that you’ll need to get a La Plagne guide.

Pros
  • Backcountry feel
  • Feels very isolated
  • Great after fresh snow
  • Very wide, almost ride-anywhere piste
  • If you like moguls, you’ll like this run
Cons
  • Not the most interesting or varied run
  • If you hate moguls, you’ll most of the time hate this run
  • Due to its ‘Natur’ status, the moguls can get massive
