The Purple Piste of Orcieres


The Milka Piste


A fun descent following the colour of the purple cow to ski, play, learn and be surprised!!


The Purple Piste is a course with 6 stages and 11 information panels, a fun and informative introduction to the alpine environment. Created on gentle slopes so all the family can participate and follow at their own level. The course involves a selection of games to introduce the variety of alpine flora and fauna.

 

Each stage has one or more information panels on a different theme, which the skier needs to follow in the correct order by answering a series of questions. (The answers to each question on flora and fauna can be found on the next panel. The panels are illustrated with marmottes, chamois, ibex... depending on the theme.)
