    Around here, we don't say "Les Grands Montets", we just say "Les Grands", as everything is just so massive! And any self-respecting freerider must have skied at "Les Grands" at least once in their life!

    The reason for the legendary status? A marked upper part, but never groomed, steep slopes, superb valleys, super light powder and a steep drop in height on the north face. In short, an off-piste paradise!

    The "new slides" of the 80s and the legendary Grands Montets derby in the 70s / 80s greatly contributed to the legend of "Les Grands" all over the world. This race consisted of descending from the top of "Les Grands" to Argentière as quickly as possible in teams of 3, with only one compulsory checkpoint. The record for this crazy ski descent is 5 minutes 35 seconds!

    Built in 1963, the cable-car located in Argentière (1,252m) makes it possible to reach the Grands Montets 3,275m, under the incredible Aiguille Verte. With the fire that occurred in September 2018 at the Lognan mid-station (1972m), this upper part of the Grands Montets is only accessible to touring skiers. But by 2024, everyone will once again be able to enjoy the magic of these great natural spaces, thanks to the lift-stations designed by the architect Renzo Piano. Access to the top of "Les Grands" will be achieved thanks to its 3S cable car, which embodies comfort and safety at the highest level.

    Fortunately, the Grands Montets area does not stop at the pinnacle of the same name. And everyone can enjoy the incredible quality of snow on this northern slope.

    Black slopes, red slopes, groomed and prepared blue slopes are there to welcome you.

    A Beginner's Area has been designed on the Lognan plateau. Accessible from progressed-beginner level, it allows you to discover the pleasure of skiing in complete safety, an important bonus when you come with your family.

    Finally, so that everyone can meet and have a good time, our restaurants La Table de Plan Joran, Spot de Lognan and Le Comptoir à Raclette, will delight you with their specialities!

    For a day with friends or family, a discovery weekend or short stays, book online to save time!

    And take advantage of your stay to discover the other wonders of Mont Blanc Naturel Resort, the largest of the natural playgrounds !

    The mountain pastures of Lognan and the seracs of the Argentière glacier.

    Built in 1963, the cable-car located in Argentière (1,252m) makes it possible to reach the Grands Montets 3,275m, under the incredible Aiguille Verte. With the fire that occurred in September 2018 at the Lognan intermediate station (1972 m), the Argentière> Lognan and Lognan> Grands Montets cable cars are closed. Access to the area is via the Plan Joran gondola (2134 m). But by 2024, everyone will once again be able to enjoy the magic of these great natural spaces, thanks to the lift-stations designed by the architect Renzo Piano.
