The ski area in Les Contamines boasts exceptional snow conditions. Varied exposure is the guarantee of good quality skiing. North slopes in powder, south slopes in transformed snow, you can, on the same day, enjoy varied and fantastic snow conditions.
OFF-PISTE AREA
From the top of the ski lifts (altitude 2,485 m), it is possible to enjoy a choice of long off-piste descents almost all season. Also, discover a number of itineraries in the most secret corners of the Beaufortain range using the ski lifts at first followed by a short climb with skins. Enjoy a taste of freedom on some remarkable runs.
We recommend that you seek advice from our mountain professionals (guides, ski patrol). Remember to check the weather forecast and snow conditions and always carry an ARVA, shovel, and probe.
The ski lift company proposes a pass that gives access to either the Montjoie or Gorge gondola plus one ride up the Roselette lift. Departure before 10:00: €19
