Description

Possibility of a one-way trip down the Tête de Bellard chairlift at La Toussuire. Please note chairlift closing times, last descent at 4pm.

From 14/12 to 11/04 between 9 am and 4 pm.

Subject to snow conditions.

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step : Take the "Sybelles Express" chairlift. When you reach the top of the chairlift, turn right and cross the "Les Raccourts" ski run. You'll see the arrival of a ski lift and then, a little further down, the start of a footpath with a large sign indicating "Espace nordique". This is a groomed footpath separated from the ski slopes. It is marked with yellow and black stakes. The first part of the walk goes steadily up and down. You'll arrive next to the Snowpark. The walk then becomes easier. Be careful, it's never flat in the mountains!
You'll then come to the La Toussuire sector. Be careful, you're about to cross a ski slope, so stay on the outside of the run. Reach the "Les Carlines" high-altitude restaurant, and the "Tête de Bellard" chairlift is just behind. You can turn around and walk back to Le Corbier, or take the chairlift down to La Toussuire: at the bottom of the chairlift, you'll quickly find a small path on the left to leave the snow front and be separated from the skiers. You can return with the yellow shuttle bus in front of the Tourist Office (timetables available from the Corbier and La Toussuire Tourist Offices).
