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. However there are some good off-piste possibilities in this area – but you’ll need a La Plagne guide to be safe.

Unlike the other runs in this sector, accessing Palsembleu is easiest from just one lift – the Envers chair. As is common with the other blacks in this area, this run 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, Palsembleu 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.
