The new Gaston Express chairlift, 2 new pistes and a new skiing adventure game: the Sybelles Explor’Games®
The new Gaston Express chairlift, for better connections on the Ouillon plateau
To improve inter-resort connections, this detachable 6 seater chairlift will replace the double “Torret” button lift. 4.6M € were invested in this new installation. In less than 5 minutes, skiers are able to access the Ouillon area - the lively heart of the ski area. This chairlift has been named in memory of Gaston Maulin, the founding father of the Les Sybelles ski area.
2 new pistes:
freeriding area in Le Corbier
Left in its natural condition (marked out and secured but not groomed), the beautiful ‘Jonquilles’ black piste is located under the Mont-Corbier chairlift. It is 695m long with a 282m descent. It joins the 3 other freeriding pistes created last winter in Saint-Sorlin-d’Arves (Bartavelle, Perdrix and Perrons Bas) so you can hit the slopes whilst preserving the natural environment.
A red run so you can enjoy the wild landscapes of Saint-Colomban-des-Villards
Heading for Vallée des Villards, at the summit of Mont Cuinat at 2,078m altitude, the new red run Culaz runs along the Bellard ridge. Between Belledonne and Maurienne, it has a splendid panoramic view with Mont Blanc as a backdrop. This new route adds a new dynamic to this unique area of Sybelles.

A new skiing adventure game: the Sybelles Explor’Games®
Never seen before in a ski area, Les Sybelles has allocated 393 ha to the Sybelles Explor Games®: a scripted adventure game guided by a specialised mobile phone app. With this new experience, the customer is invited to discover the pistes in-depth and to flit
from one area to another in a fun way. The objective of the game: to save the planet from climate change caused by a rival clan and to also make the public aware of the need to protect the environment.
