Aiglon is a short, slow, fixed-pole Poma drag lift in the Champagny sector, beside the longer Borseliers III lift. It serves the gentle Bergerie green piste, making it particularly useful for first-time skiers and snowboarders practising their first turns.
The lift sits close to the upper Champagny gondola station, giving beginners access to a high-altitude learning area with impressive mountain views. Its modest length and gentle pace make it less useful for experienced riders, but those same characteristics are a real advantage when you’re learning in one of La Plagne’s best beginner areas.

Aiglon serves a compact learning area near the top of the Champagny gondola. From the lift, ride the short Bergerie green piste or join the lower half of Éterlou blue.
The updated local map shows how this beginner area fits into the wider Champagny sector. The longer Borseliers III drag lift lies alongside Aiglon.
