Montalbert lifts: There aren’t many lifts in the Plagne Montalbert sector, but the network here still serves some of the best tree-lined skiing in La Plagne. Everything centres on the long Montalbert gondola, which rises from Plagne Montalbert (1250m) up to Le Fornelet at 1970m.

From the top you’ve got a choice of flowing blue and red runs dropping back through the trees to village level — all of which can be accessed from this single point. It’s simple, calm and usually far quieter than the main La Plagne hubs.
