At 1930m, the Fornet has preserved its authentic "Haute-Tarentaise" character. It is an unspoiled area where visitors can reach the highest spot of the resort via the Iseran valley cable car leading up to the Pissaillas glacier. A true Alpine environment in which to discover the innumerable off-piste possibilities that wind through a wild and virgin realm reserved for experienced skiers only. Less experienced skiers have a wide array of "blue" and "green" options before gliding down a very long and calm "blue", ideal for a carefree promenade.

The Daille is the first hamlet (1.785m), loaded with wide and long ski runs, ideal for a good early morning warm-up. Here also is found the thrilling "OK" or "Oreiller-Killy", famous throughout the world since it became the home of the World Cup downhill event called "Critérium de la Première Neige". The "Funival", an ultramodern underground funicular that carries skiers up to the top of the Bellevarde rock, leaves from the Daille. It is a true technological achievement that climbs 1.000 meters at 12 meters per second.

At 1850m, in Val Village, the trails from Bellevarde and those from Solaise Peak converge. It is an athletic skiers paradise; consisting of "reds" and "blacks", and the celebrated "face Olympique". Those who love long, steep and technical slopes first thing in the morning, while enjoying the rapid Solaise and Bellevarde cable car trips. The higher areas of these two regions are greatly appreciated for their easy and sunny skiing.
