Champagny Hara-Kiri red
Champagny Hara-Kiri
Champagny Hara-Kiri red piste: The top of the red-graded Champagny piste Hara-Kiri follows a very similar path to that of the black-graded Bosses piste — which might make you wonder which is the correctly rated of the two.
In truth, Bosses is probably optimistically rated black, and it’s the bumps that make it a challenge more than anything else.

Champagny Hara-Kiri red
La Plagne advanced piste Hara-Kiri: Hara-Kiri is an enjoyable red piste (one of the few Champagny red pistes) accessed from the top of Les Verdons, dropping back down into the main Champagny sector.
The run crosses under the Verdons Sud chair before merging with the lower section of the Bozelet blue, which takes you back down to the foot of the Verdons Sud or Borseliers chair.
Another alternative is to veer right near the restaurant and continue on the lowest section of the Kamikaze red piste, which also takes you to the base station of Verdons Sud.
Sort your hire before you travel
Quick tip: Champagny is one of the most rewarding sectors in La Plagne, but it still makes sense to sort your equipment before you arrive. Booking online usually means better prices, better availability and a much smoother first morning once you get to resort.
Choose a shop close to your accommodation so collecting your gear is quick and easy before heading up the mountain.

Exploring Champagny’s big terrain? Make sure you’re covered
Quick tip: Champagny might have a quieter feel, but it still gives access to serious terrain. In France, rescue and evacuation costs can be charged to you even on marked pistes, so it’s worth sorting proper cover before your trip.
Good ski insurance helps cover medical treatment, lift evacuation and cancellation if something goes wrong before or during your holiday.
