Two of the four drag lifts in the Plagne Montalbert sector of La Plagne are flexible rope tows that many beginner skiers or snowboarders find more difficult to ride than their fixed pole counterparts. Couple that with the fact that all Montalbert pistes can be reached by the main Montalbert gondola and you might well wonder why anyone would bother with these lifts – which might also explain why they are never busy. The other two fixed pole lifts serve the Montalbert green pistesMontalbert green pistes – the Grenouilles green at the summit of Le Fornelet and the Montalbert École zone right next to Montalbert village.
