Since 1997 the Brévent and the Flégère ski areas have been linked by a cable car.
In 2000 the resorts formally joined to become Brévent-Flégère and now
offers anyone a great day of diverse skiing with almost endless terrain.
In 2006, a 6-person chair lift was built up to the
Index creating much better access to some great on and off-piste
skiing. A 4-person chair lift, La Trappe, was also recently built and
has increased the rate from 1000 people per hour to 2400 per hour.
There is a 100 vehicle car park right in front of the lift at Les
Praz. It can fill quickly so arrive early or use the free bus service.
All buses from Chamonix going north, up the valley towards Grands
Montets, Argentière and Le Tour stop at Les Praz for La Flégère.

A black run goes down from La Flégère
to Les Praz, although this is patrolled it is not pisted. This is
probably not the most difficult of black runs but it is very long. La
Flégère offers some good off piste skiing, for example: combes
Lachenal, Glieres, Crochues, etc. This is also a great place to go on a
powder day. Grands Montets will draw all the crowds and most runs will
be tracked out before noon but if you head to Flegere you can enjoy the
powder without the long queues all day.
