Champagny Rossa Haut
Rossa Haut blue piste: Rossa Haut is tucked away in a secluded corner of the already-quiet Champagny area, accessed from the Rossa chair.
It’s mainly used by riders making the return journey from the Levasset piste circuit, so most people completely ignore the runs here – which is perfect if you know where to look.

Champagny Rossa Haut
La Plagne intermediate piste Rossa Haut: None of the runs off the Rossa chair are particularly challenging, but they’re all fun and set in some of the most incredible scenery in Champagny.
The terrain is wide, open and confidence-building, with just enough steeper pitches to keep things interesting if you’re pushing the speed. Beginners and intermediates will love the space – and stronger riders will still enjoy the flow, plus the easy off-piste options between the pistes.
Rossa Haut is also ideal for brushing up technique, learning switch and playing with small rotational tricks, thanks to the multiple natural side-banks that line the run.
It’s easily one of La Plagne’s best early intermediate pistes, and as a bonus you’ve got one of La Plagne’s best mountain cafés right nearby – Roc de Blanchets.

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.
