Champagny blue piste Crépines: The Crépines piste sits in a wide, shallow bowl in the Champagny sector of La Plagne and is served exclusively by the Rossa chair.

The mellow gradient makes it perfect for beginners and early intermediates, plus it’s a handy spot for practising skills (including riding switch). Because the Rossa chair is often used as a return route from the long Levasset blue, this area usually stays quiet even when the lift itself gets a bit busier with return traffic.

La Plagne intermediate piste Crépines: Crépines has a short, steeper-ish pitch right at the start, then quickly opens out into a wide, mellow motorway piste that’s ideal for relaxed, confidence-building turns.

Because the run takes a wider arc than its neighbours (Rossa and Sérac), the chairlift can drop out of view at points, which makes the bowl feel far more remote than it really is.

The Champagny side also serves up some of the most dramatic views in La Plagne across the Courchevel and Méribel valleys (Trois Vallées) plus Grande Casse. And because this side is south-facing, you can often expect sunshine for much of the day in good weather.

Crépines piste: A balanced for and against list for this mellow Champagny blue. Handy if you’re deciding where to spend time as a beginner or early intermediate, or you just want something quiet and confidence-building.
