PETITE AIGUILLE CHAIRLIFT (2)

7¼ Minutes Journey849 m (926 yd) Long
241 m (791 ft) Rise1500 Passengers/Hour
Sectors:  Pied Moutet (Vallée Blanche) & Les 2 Alpes 1800
A relatively short link-lift, facilitating the connection from Mont-de-Lans and the Pied Moutet sector towards the core ski area.

Based next to the cross-resort La Côte chairlift (2a), beside a small [free] open-air car park just off the main road at the entrance to Les Deux Alpes (at the Alpe de Mont-de-Lans quarter). There is also a lift-pass sales kiosk and a comprehensive ski-area information display-board here too, making this a good starting point if you've arrived by car for a day trip.

Accessible on-piste via a green-graded link-route which winds through the residential area of the Alpe de Mont-de-Lans quarter, from the Champamé piste at the northern end of the main base-area slopes; as well as via the Petite Aiguille and Côte pistes, the latter being the sole link piste from the Pied Moutet sector.

The journey up passes over the top of upper terminal of the Mont-de-Lans chairlift and arrives at the top of the Petite Aiguille piste, right next to a bend on the flat Chemin des Demoiselles route.

On Arrival:  U-turn down to the skier's right on dismount, back down the line of the lift, for the Petite Aiguille piste; or, simply dismount to the right and join the Chemin des Demoiselles to traverse towards town.
Onward Links
The Chemin des Demoiselles route traverses towards the main base-area slopes, passing above the Club Med complex in the uppermost Les 2 Alpes 1800 quarter. The track is very flat, but has just enough gradient to provide a gentle glide.

At the point where it passes under the line of the overhead [Village] chairlift you have the choice of continuing straight on towards the main base-area slopes, to link with the major ski lifts clustered close to the town centre, or you can turn off down to the skier's right to link with the Village chairlift (27) and/or to reach the nearby Grande Place commercial area at Les 2 Alpes 1800.
