A former ski champion turned gendarme investigates a gruesome murder in the French Alps in the icy mountain mystery Piste Noire.

Filmed in the French mountain resort of Avoriaz, part of the stunningly beautiful Portes du Soleil area in the commune of Morzine, Piste Noire stars Constance Labbé (Balthazar, Murder In…) as Émilie Karras, a former ski champion turned gendarme from Lyon who returns to her old stomping ground of Les Clairies, an alpine ski resort, to investigate a fire which claimed the life of a seasonal worker and revealed 150,000 in buried cash. She teams up with Major Servoz (Thibault de Montalembert, The Tunnel, Call My Agent!) to expose a network of corruption, real estate speculation and class conflict. For viewers interested in French TV beyond Paris-centric stories, Piste Noire offers a refreshing change from urban procedurals; the vast landscapes and physical isolation amplify themes of secrecy, division and power.
