What do the different colours of piste refer to on the maps?

Updated

The colours represent the scale of difficulty of the pistes in Les 2 Alpes:

  • Green: Very easy, corresponds to a beginner level and nursery slopes.
  • Blue: Easy, although the gradient has increased there may be a few bumps and dips to test your balance. Great fun once you are a little more confident.
  • Red: Steeper slopes, suitable for intermediate or above, can pose a challenge in places.
  • Black: Technically difficult and steep. Advanced levels only.

The scale applies to whichever activity you are doing in Les 2 Alpes - skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, or mountain biking. Each piste has the colour marked at the beginning and the poles along the sides of the piste will correspond. Take a look at our Guide to the Les 2 Alpes Ski Area to find out more.
