Plagne Bellecôte Mio black piste
Mio black piste
Mio black piste: The short Mio black piste drops just to the right of the Carella chair before eventually crossing under it to rejoin the Levasset blue as it winds its way down into the Champagny sector.
While rated black, in truth, taken as a whole this run really isn’t particularly challenging. It’s only the top section that is anywhere near black – the rest is more like a blue.

Mio overview
La Plagne expert piste Mio: In truth, this back run only has a short steep section at the top before mellowing into a gradient more akin to other blues around the resort. It’s another of the resort’s black Natur runs — meaning it’s left unpisted through the season. Consequently, the biggest challenge here is normally the size of the moguls rather than the actual steepness of the run.
After fresh snow, far more enjoyable off-piste options exist in this area that are more worthy of exploring — although you will need to hire a guide to take these on safely.
Get your equipment ready for the challenge
If demanding pistes are part of your trip, tell the hire staff what you plan to ride. Suitable equipment and a careful fit check are worth taking time over before heading up the mountain.

Mio Pros and cons
Mio black piste: A proper Natur run with an enjoyable steep-ish start and easy access to off-piste lines — but the main test is often the moguls, and the run-out can feel a bit flat.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Wide & steep at top | Only steep at top |
| Easy access off-piste | Long flat run-out |
| Good off-piste routes in the bowl, skiers’ left (get a guide) |
Steeper terrain, careful preparation
Check that your insurance suits your planned skiing or snowboarding, including rescue and treatment. Black pistes, unpatrolled routes and off-piste terrain are not interchangeable, so read the policy definitions and conditions.
