Plagne Montalbert gondola Télécabine (TC): All pistes in the Plagne Montalbert sector of La Plagne can be reached from the top gondola station at Le Fornelet (1970m), 720m above Plagne Montalbert village below at 1250m. This area gives access to some best tree-lined pistes in La Plagne with ample options off-piste routes and perfect for bad weather.
As Montalbert is rather secluded compared to the rest of La Plagne, it tends to stay much quieter than other areas, particularly during the busy holiday periods. However, even when it is busy, the high-capacity, fast gondola takes a little over five minutes to reach the top station, keeping queues to a minimum and maximising your time skiing or snowboarding.

Sort your Montalbert hire before you travel
Quick tip: If you’re staying in Plagne Montalbert, it pays to sort your ski or snowboard hire before you travel. Booking online is usually cheaper, gives you a better choice of sizes and makes your first morning much easier once you get to resort.
Montalbert is one of the quieter corners of La Plagne, but booking ahead still helps you get organised and straight onto that fast gondola without wasting time in a shop queue.

Quiet sector, same need to be covered
Quick tip: Montalbert may feel quieter and more relaxed than some other parts of La Plagne, but proper ski insurance still matters. In France, rescue and evacuation costs can be charged to you, even on marked runs.
Good ski insurance helps cover medical treatment, lift evacuation and cancellation if something goes wrong before or during your trip.
