Grande Rochette Bridge piste
Bridge piste
Bridge piste: The area around the top of the Aollets poma is flat and wide open, with runs crisscrossing in every direction. Of these, Bridge will more than likely feel like part of the longer Mira blue or Ramy blue runs, though it’s marked as a separate piste.
Most skiers and snowboarders taking Mira back down to Plagne Centre end up on Bridge because it feels like the most natural extension of that main run.

Bridge route
La Plagne intermediate piste Bridge: Bridge gets very busy, particularly over holiday periods, because it forms part of the main route into Plagne Centre from Plagne Villages and Plagne Soleil (via the Bergerie chair) and from Plagne Bellecôte (via the Colosses chair).
If tricks are your thing, look out for the natural quarter pipes near the turning at the bottom as you funnel into Centre.

Bridge Pros and cons
Bridge piste: A fun link run with loads of hits and interesting terrain, but it gets very busy and can turn into stop-start ski school chaos as everyone funnels into Plagne Centre.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Enjoyable short run | Gets very busy |
| Interesting terrain | Popular with ski schools |
| Sidehits – a lot of hits | People stop everywhere |
| Fun link run | Funnel into Centre normally mogulled and full of very novice riders |
| Links Village to Centre |
Heading into unfamiliar terrain?
Quick tip: Even straightforward pistes can change quickly with weather, visibility and traffic. Good cover means lift evacuation, medical help and rescue costs are handled if something goes wrong — which in the Alps can otherwise be expensive.
If you haven’t sorted cover yet, it’s worth doing before your trip.
