State of the art snowmaking
La Truite piste (or the Trout as we know it!) the snowmaking system is being substantially modernised, with an investment of more than €3million and newer, more efficient snowmaking equipment. This is positive news for the many skiers and riders who take the green run between Mottaret and Méribel.

Niverolle piste improvements
The red piste, Niverolle on the Mottaret side of La Saulire which descends to the mid station of Pas du Lac is being improved. The piste is being reshaped and better snowmaking facilities added, therefore the run down should be smoother and more dependable earlier/later in the season.
