11. Le Tunnel (black run)

We can't finish this list without adding in 'Le Tunnel' in La Plagne. This run starts at the top of the Roche de Mio and descends 800m to the centre of Plagne Bellecote...and as the name suggests, it includes a tunnel that you ski through where dance music and disco lighting accompany you through to the other end :) Not recommended for boarders as both the approach and the tunnel itself is pretty flat!

Enjoy Les Arcs, La Plagne, the double decker gondola and all of our top pistes listed above!
