Blanchets to Belle Plagne: If you’re staying in Belle Plagne, you’ll need to take higher runs to gain altitude to get home – or take the Belle Plagne gondola up to the village (it stays open until around midnight). The most popular routes are taking the Arpette chair then riding the Lainés blue piste (it runs directly through the top of Belle Plagne) — or taking the Blanchets chair followed by this combination of the Blanchets blue and Belle Plagne run back into the village. You also have the option of the Tunnel blue or Sources – but they both feed into the Belle Plagne runs lower down anyway. 

These runs are long and wide with plenty of space for little sidehits but the trade-off is two long flat sections where you’ll want to carry speed.

La Plagne intermediate piste Blanchets to Belle Plagne: This is the practical route from the Blanchets chair back into Belle Plagne village — and a solid alternative to the Arpette > Lainés combo when you want a simpler ‘lift then ride home’ option.

If you’d rather avoid the flats altogether, consider riding down to the Bellecôte lift hub then taking the Belle Plagne gondola up into the village (open late until around midnight).
