La Plagne is a collection of ten satellite towns and villages that form a backdrop for a vast ski and snowboard area that is now linked with Les Arcs named Paradiski. High altitude skiing and snowboarding ensures snow reliability throughout the winter season and intermediate skiers and snowboarders enjoy the miles of cruising slopes to be found above the winter resort of La Plagne.

There is some fantastic off piste skiing, snowboarding and telemarking to be found if the services of a qualified mountain guide are used. The resort satellite villages of La Plagne are a mix of charming old hamlets and modern convenient apartment blocks that provide something for everyone. La Plagne is truly one of Europe's top winter resorts.

La Plagne now forms part of the Paradaski skiing and snowboarding region that is directly linked to Les Arcs by cable car across a deep valley gorge. This has given the winter sports holidaymaker a huge choice that rivals the largest alpine resorts in terms of skiable area.

The full lift pass includes the whole Paradaski area. Nearby resorts such as Val d'Isère and Tignes are accessible for a day trip and are available as a one day extension to the lift pass. A qualified ski instructor, snowboard teacher or mountain guide will let you make the most of this extensive region.

La Plagne, France

The original winter resort of Plagne Centre at the high altitude base of 1970 meters has been transformed from what was a typical 1960's eyesore complex into a well balanced and pleasant holiday environment. Higher up, Aime La Plagne at the altitude of 2100m is a modern but convenient location, whilst Belle Plagne at the altitude of 2050m has a pleasant village centre. Other connected satellites such as Montchavin and Champagny-en-Vanoise are original alpine farming hamlets that retain a traditional charm as well as excellent tourist infrastructures.
