Grande Rochette piste Dou du Praz
The Grande Rochette piste Dou du Praz blue run flows behind Plagne Soleil and provides fast and easy access to the bottom of the Écartée blue run – just without the hordes. Écartée (and the chairlift that serves it, the Bergerie) are two of the busiest runs and lifts (respectively) in the whole of La Plagne.
La Plagne intermediate piste Dou du Praz
The Dou du Praz, served by the Dou du Praz draglift, is one of the quietest (and most ignored) runs in the whole area. Taking this lift and run can save long waits and delays and provides an easy and fast way down to the link towards Plagne 1800 via either Les Mines red or Loup-Garou blue.
The Dou du Praz piste itself is very mellow – though most people aren’t even aware it exists. To access, take the Dou du Praz and head left at the top. After passing behind Plagne Soleil, the run loops back left under the Bergerie chair to a flat plateau where you can take the Bergerie back up, drop to the right towards 1800 on Loup Garou / Les Mines or head straight on to take the Boulevard chair up to Plagne Centre.
