The Plagne Bellecôte lift Roche de Mio gondola is one of the oldest lifts in La Plagne and, considering its importance as an arterial lift, really is in dire need of renovation. Though many consider Roche de Mio as the full lift line out of Plagne Bellecôte, the lift company SAP deem Roche de Mio to be the second section, covering the journey between Belle Plagne and the Roche de Mio summit itself. The gondola cabins are cramped and only carry 6, while the lift itself is slow, uncomfortable and noisy.

Plans are afoot to replace this lift – originally planned for season 2022/23 but, at time of writing, nothing has been fully confirmed. From the top, riders can take the third stage (but unlinked) glacier gondola, Bellecôte, over to the glacier sector or alternatively ride the Mio black, Levasset blue, Sources red, Tunnel blue or Inversens red.

Pros
  • Accesses great runs
  • Astounding scenery
  • Drops at Roche de Mio cafe
Cons
  • Low capacity
  • Slow, dated, uncomfortable
  • Queues can get horrendous
