Sarenne – the legendary run

Long version: from Pic Blanc 3 down to Sarenne gorge, return via Chalvet or Alpauris

Best slopes for beginners

• Marcel Farm: “pink” slope from Signal chairlift
• Chez Roger: green slope from Rifnel 2, Pic Blanc 1 and Jeux lifts

Where to avoid crowds

During busy periods, Marmotte 1 often gets crowded. In that case, head towards the Auris-en-Oisans sector via the Alpauris chairlift.
