Les Grands Montets

By train: 10 minutes by train to Argentiere - recommended, it's a lovely train ride.

Les Grands Montets ski area:

Among the most famous ski areas in the world, a day at Les Grands Montets is a must. Huge areas of it are never pisted, just left as natural backcountry. The views from the top are stunning and the wild drama of the scenery as the run passes the seracs and crevasses of the Argentiere glacier is unmatched. The top lift gives access to more areas of black runs through fields of off-piste powder. Also at the Grands Montets are wonderful off-piste routes (we strongly recommend you take a guide, or join a guided group) including the Pas de Chevre and the Glacier d'Argentiere.

The terrain park at Les Grands Montets is excellent and accessed by the Marmottons lift.

Les Grands Montets pistes:

The Cremerie Du Glacier, in the woods above the Lognan cable-car base, has a speciality of Croustades - delicious filling pizza style bread with loads of different toppings. Good vegetarian ones too. Look out for the small white sign on the right just before the flat end section of the Pierre a Ric home run to get there from the piste, or follow the signs from the car park to drive there.
