The long Sources red flows naturally from the top of the Levasset blue piste, accessed via the Inversens / Carella chairs or the Roche de Mio gondola.

Starting out from the Roche de Mio hub, follow the top section of Levasset until you reach the Inversens restaurant on the right. At this point, Levasset drops away to the left while the Inversens red and Tunnel blue drop to your right. Staying straight on accesses the Sources piste.

This run starts on a mellow gradient before flowing into two short steep pitches as you skirt round the back of the ridge which separates the Bellecôte bowl from Roche de Mio. There is a long flat section that curves to the right so try to keep your speed on the top section to avoid schussing / unclipping. The run then veers right before dropping you at the top of a steep section as you enter the Bellecôte side. This section is actually quite steep for a red – although it’s very short.

Another short flat section follows ahead of another steep before the run flows into the lower half of the Belle Plagne blue piste. Sources is a fun piste but less accomplished riders should be aware that the steeper sections here are pretty harsh for just a red run.
