Nestled in the forest, you’ll discover slopes which snake between the trees, magical creatures to look out for as you ski and also a beautiful sunny plateau at the top of the Montalbert gondola. Spend a few moments soaking up the peace and tranquillity in our la Pause picnic area which has a great view over Mont Jovet.

A little out of the way of the crowds, head to the top of the Comborcière chairlift to find a newly equipped picnic area. Overlooking the valley, opposite Mont Blanc, it’s the perfect place for a relaxing picnic in an outstanding setting. The picnic area is on several levels, each zone equipped for your comfort.

Marmotte picnic area
It can’t be sunny every day and sometimes we just need to warm up indoors, so we thought a cosy little room would be perfect for your picnics. The Marmotte picnic room can be found at the foot of the Marmotte chairlift towards Arc 1950.
Here you can enjoy a little break inside that looks like a luxury chalet, at one of our large wooden tables. There are coffee machines too, for those of you who need a little boost before heading back out on the slopes!
Picnic area at the top of the 2300
Over in Peisey Vallandry, you’ll find a lovely little terrace with some picnic tables for you to enjoy your lunch on. Here the view of the north face of the Bellecôte is just stunning. This picnic area is just at the bottom of the Aiguille Rousse. There’s no better way to enjoy a sunny break, at one with nature.
