Due to the low altitude, runs here can get icy first thing in the morning as the season progresses or in low-snow years. If conditions aren’t great down low, beginners would be well-advised to take the main Montalbert gondola out of the village up to the summit of Fornelet where there’s another novice green piste, Montalbert École.
