About the area

Montclar is a small Southern Alps area with about 23 km of pistes, and the balance sits clearly with confident cruisers: 10 km of blue and 8 km of red. Beginners can get started here, since green and blue runs make up 57% of the network (14 km) and there are 10 short easy runs grouped next to a lift base, but the progression is limited. Experts should look elsewhere — only 2 km, or 8%, counts as black or freeride terrain, and the longest single descent gives 399 m of vertical.

The lift system is compact: 8 lifts, of which 3 chairlifts, 3 platters and 2 further drag lifts. Slopes run from 1333 m up to 2464 m, so the upper sections hold snow better than the base area. The longest run measures 1952 m.
