WE say
One of the quieter villages but unbeatable ski in/out location and easy access to nearby Plagne Centre
Set high in the magnificent Savoie French Alps, dominated by the mighty Mont Blanc, La Plagne is one of the most famous and exciting high-altitude ski areas in the world. One of the first purpose-built resorts in France, La Plagne comprises ten ski centres, each with shops, restaurants, ski schools and children's village, with direct access to the ski area. The villages are well-connected and gondolas and a bus service run between them. Skiing has taken on a new dimension with the introduction of the Vanoise Express cable car combining the two areas of Les Arcs and La Plagne on the Paradiski lift pass.
La Plagne boasts possibly the biggest single resort lift system in the world and has superb and extensive runs for all grades of skiers and boarder. Beginners can slowly find their feet on the 11 green slopes, before progressing to the more gentle blues and try their hand at a bit of off-piste before the week is up. Intermediates can clock up the miles, whilst experts can take on some truly terrifying off-piste. Paradiski is vast but its intricate network of variously graded runs mean almost all levels of skier can take themselves from one end of the resort to the other and return back to their chalet with a real sense of achievement.
Plagne Villages is one of the older of the high altitude villages and offers excellent ski and snowboarding access. Almost all the ski apartments/chalets in Plagne Villages are genuine ski in ski out. There is an easy blue run down to Plagne Centre and access back to Plagne Villages from either Plagne Centre or Plagne Bellecote is easy for skiers and snowboarders alike.
There are a few bars and restaurants nearby but more extensive nightlife in La Plagne Centre which if you don't fancy the walk can be accessed via the pedestrian friendly telebus until after midnight.
