The area is accessible from the mountain town of Argentière and has several modern lifts including two gondolas. The upper sections can be windy, so visitors should bring warm clothing and sun protection.
The north-facing slopes receive continuous snowfall throughout the season, creating consistently good conditions. This geographic location has made the resort a reliable destination for early and late-season visitors.
