Inversens red piste: Inversens leaves from just below the summit of Roche de Mio and is accessed from the Roche de Mio gondola, Carella chair or Inversens chair.

It flows naturally off the top section of the Levasset blue (take the furthest right piste near the Inversens restaurant). In truth, there’s nothing particularly difficult about Inversens and many riders would argue it should be rated blue.

La Plagne advanced piste Inversens: The redevelopment of the Inversens chair for season 2018/19 helped open up this area, as riding here previously involved a tortuously slow trip back up on an ageing fixed-grip chairlift.

With the new chair, the zone has become far more popular. There’s also a wealth of easily accessible off-piste here — much of it sits very close to the marked runs. Bigger challenges exist beyond the roped-off cornice area, but this terrain has serious cliffs, so you’ll definitely want a guide.

There is talk of a new chairlift being built from the bottom of Inversens linking over to the top of the Crozats chair. For now, Inversens terminates at the top of the Crozats black — the only route out other than taking the Inversens chair back up.

Inversens red piste: A wide, friendly red with a great “away from the crowds” feel and excellent off-piste access close to the run — but there’s limited choice at the bottom, and it can feel a little straight up-and-down.
