Les 7 Laux located at the heart of Belledonne mountain range in the Isère department of France, the ski resort of Les 7 Laux, can be broken down into three separate areas.
Les 7 Laux ski area
To the east, Le Pleynet (1450 m), a big mountain resort that overlooks the Breda valley surrounded by the chiseled peaks of the Belle Etoile and the Cabottes. To the west, Prapoutel (1350 m), the urban hub of the 7 Laux ski area where you can find all of the urban amenities (cinema, disco ...), and finally Pipay (1550 m), the well preserved village in the middle of nature, overlooking the Grésivaudan Valley. Just a little warning, it takes about an hour to drive between Prapoutel and Pleynet (through Allevard).
The ski area has 120km of pisted slopes as well as some good off piste skiing which means the area is alot larger than it first looks. The skiing goes from 1350m up to the summit at 2400m. 90% of the lifts have been updated in the last 10 years and they are constantly adding new slopes. There's a good range of slopes for all levels and both sides of the mountain (Prapoutel and Pleynet) are connected by lifts.
