La Plagne black pistes: La Plagne only has 17 black pistes mostly around Aime 2000 / Biolley and on the Glacier Bellecôte. However, expert riders would be much better hiring a guide to tackle the extensive off-piste available around the resort. Also, you might want to consider making the journey across to Les Arcs where there are far more black pistes. Also, some of the red runs in La Plagne are steep enough to be graded expert in other resorts so you should check our guide to the best red runs in La Plagne.

Quick tip: La Plagne is one of the biggest ski areas in the world. On busy weeks, hire shops fill up fast and queues build quickly. Booking ski or snowboard hire in advance means your equipment is ready, sizes are available and you get rental prices that are cheaper online.
