Plagne Bellecôte Tyrolien piste
Tyrolien piste
Tyrolien piste: We’re not even sure this is actually a piste, but there’s a short run that comes off the Tyrolien lift near the top of Belle Plagne. It’s not marked on the piste map as such but we’re guessing it would probably be considered part of the Lognan piste — so the top might be graded red.
You’ll only use this ‘run’ for acess out of Belle Plagne Haut – or after you’ve taken the Tyrolien lift to get up to the higher reaches of the village.

Tyrolien Pros and cons
Tyrolien route: A handy little access run for getting out of Belle Plagne Haut without walking — but it funnels loads of people onto the Belle Plagne blue, so it can feel hectic at peak times.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Two piste options | Belle Plagne piste gets very busy |
| Main morning route from Belle Plagne Haut | |
| Useful access lift nearby |
Heading into unfamiliar terrain?
Quick tip: Even straightforward pistes can change quickly with weather, visibility and traffic. Good cover means lift evacuation, medical help and rescue costs are handled if something goes wrong — which in the Alps can otherwise be expensive.
If you haven’t sorted cover yet, it’s worth doing before your trip.
