Use Mottaret as a precise map reference
Search Pas du Lac and inspect the named lift stages. Our UCPA–Courchevel example uses Pas du Lac 1 followed by Pas du Lac 2 after reaching the Méribel side. Review the full journey, including the pistes that lead to those lifts.
Does a central location guarantee an easy connection?
No. Each crossing still depends on the exact points, direction, permitted difficulty and available links. Try your intended journey with your own limit and inspect every step; the regional map alone does not prove a suitable connection.
Check both sides of the crossing
When planning towards Courchevel or back towards Val Thorens, check the official status of the connecting lifts and pistes on both sides. Calculate the return separately: reversing the endpoints does not mean the same lifts and descents can be used backwards.
