LA PLAGNE PISTE GUIDES

Montchavin Mouflon blue piste

A short, mellow blue that peels off Mont Blanc — easy to miss, usually quiet, and a handy alternate line back onto the main run

MONTCHAVIN BLUE PISTES

Mouflon blue piste

A short, mellow alternative line off the Mont Blanc blue that loops you back onto the main run a little lower down

Mouflon blue piste: Mouflon is a short blue piste in La Plagne which flows off the main Mont Blanc blue piste. As with many other runs in La Plagne (and particularly in the Montchavin sector) it’s very easy to stray onto this run without even realising, as it’s easy to confuse with the main Mont Blanc.

This is yet another of La Plagne’s *very* forgiving blue runs, perfect for even the earliest of intermediates.

MONTCHAVIN INTERMEDIATE PISTES

Mouflon blue

Usually quiet and very mellow, but the very top can feel flat

La Plagne intermediate piste Mouflon: Mouflon starts around mid-way down the Mont Blanc, near the top of the Sauget drag lift. In many ways, it seems more logical to continue onto this piste rather than turning to the right (the direction of Mont Blanc).

Instead, Mouflon continues straight on, crossing the bottom of Stade de le Buffette before doubling back to rejoin Mont Blanc a little further down near the top of the Télébufette and Coches gondola lifts.

Top tip: If you end up on Mouflon by accident, no stress — it neatly loops you back onto Mont Blanc and is often quieter than the main line.
