On the slopes
Best known for the intermediate hills, if you ski Le Tour you get 11 blue runs and eight red runs in the immediate resort, along with two excellent cruisy slopes for beginners. There's also one expert slope. The five ski lifts allow you to get around the area fairly easily although the real treasures of this ski resort may be found outside the general slope areas.
Due to its membership in the Ski Pass Mont Blanc area you also have access to 394 pistes at the nearby nine resorts which include Argentière, Cordon, and St. Gervais Mt-Blanc. Snowboarders also enjoy the area immensely due to the length of the large downhill slopes as well as the snow park area. Beginners also frequent this resort since it is generally quieter than its neighbouring resorts and has an excellent ski instruction school.
