Montchavin lift Lac Noir
Lac Noir is a large, 12 person gondola leaving from just above Montchavin Les Coches (around 1400m) up to around 1900m. It is one of the key lifts on the way back from Les Arcs so can get busy – particularly at the start and end of the day.
At the top, it’s possible to join the lower section of the long Mont Blanc piste, the La Duy red or take a short walk over to a beginners’ area near Ecureuils. Alternatively, if you’re making your way back to the main area, take the short link piste down to the base of the Bijolin chair which takes you up to the top of the Montchavin sector with the Salla chair or high-speed Crozats chair then linking into the main area.
Pros
- Open in most weather
- Accesses great runs & terrain
