Champagny Boardercross: The Champagny boardercross is one of the easiest in La Plagne (the other two are in the Montchavin sector and the Plagne Bellecôte / Roche de Mio sector), but it’s still a brilliant little distraction if you fancy something different while you’re out riding.

It’s also one of La Plagne’s best blue runs for pure fun. If this sort of thing is your vibe, you could also try La Plagne’s funslope (Europe’s longest), just above Plagne Bellecôte and accessed via the Arpette lift.

La Plagne Champagny Boardercross: After a short, steeper-ish pitch, the track flows through around ten banked turns to the bottom. In its typical setup, there’s really only one jump on the course — and even then it’s more of a drop than a proper kicker.

Still, it’s absolutely worth doing, especially if you’re riding with competitive mates and fancy a bit of a laugh.

The boardercross rejoins the lower section of the Sérac blue and takes you right past Roc des Blanchets (one of the best on-hill restaurants in La Plagne) before returning you to the base of the Rossa high-speed chair. The track is marked as ‘freestyle’ on the Champagny piste map.
