About the area
Pra-Loup 1600 is a red-run mountain: of about 89 km of pistes, 33 km are red and 24 km blue, so confident intermediates get the most out of it. Beginners are only partly served — 29 km (32%) is green or blue, with just 4 km of true green, though four magic carpets and 29 short easy runs beside a lift base help with first turns. Strong skiers have 27 km of black, expert and freeride terrain (30%), including 21 km of marked freeride and a single run with 766 m of vertical. Families should note the mixed difficulty split.
Twenty lifts serve the area, including two gondolas that avoid chairlift loading with small children, four chairlifts, nine platters, a rope tow and four carpets. The ski area runs from 1,495 m to 2,496 m, and 17 km of pistes have snowmaking. The longest descent measures 3,016 m.
