La Plagne

La Plagne

This resort is an intermediate’s paradise. Plentiful off-piste, extensive purples and reliable snow.
And the link with Les Arcs, the Paradiski area, makes it an even more attractive ski holiday.


Think traditional, think forest-lined, think postcard-perfect. This beautiful resort consists of 10 separate villages with great wooded runs, excellent nursery slopes and good cross-country trails. It’s fantastic for intermediates, with red runs and beautiful scenic routes through
the forest to Montchavin-Les Coches, Champagny and Plagne Montalbert.


Not to be missed
If it’s open, take the top chair on the Bellecôte glacier for excellent snow and stunning views – and a 2,000m descent from the glacier to Montchavin, with a not-difficult off-piste stretch
in the middle.

One for the train
La Plagne resort consists of ten separate villages, six of which are purpose-built on or above the tree line, while the other four are scattered around outside the bowl.

Off the piste
If you want to give your ski a rest have a go on the floodlight 1992 Winter Olympics bob-sleigh run, with a drop of 125m and 19 bends – well worth the money to scare yourself silly as well as something to remember from your holiday.

Top money tip
Lift tickets bought for six days or more permit you to one day skiing in Val d’Isère, Tignes,
Les Trois Vallées or Les Arcs.

Best avoided
Pistes can get overcrowded at times – so choose your ski holiday dates with care.
