Despite a lack of green runs across the mountain, 1800 is the best base for beginners as the network of blues above the resort are pleasantly wide and almost always have good snow. The blues under the Plagnettes chair above Arc 1950/2000 are also an ideal learning ground with Cascades being a very pleasant run for progressing beginners. Most of the mountains that make up the resort are accessible by blue runs and Vallandry is a charming introduction to tree skiing, with La Foret providing a winding route down to the village from which a confident novice can access small portions of the red runs before returning to the blue at the next junction.
