La Plagne is an expansive ski resort in the French Alps, made up of 11 unique villages, each with its own charm and atmosphere. From high-altitude, ski-in/ski-out hubs like Plagne Centre and Plagne Soleil, to quieter, more traditional spots like Montalbert and Champagny-en-Vanoise, there’s a village to suit every type of visitor. The resort stretches from 700m in the valley to 2,100m at Plagne Aime 2000, which has a futuristic design and stunning views of Mont Blanc. Some villages, like Belle Plagne, are completely car-free, so they have a more peaceful, family-friendly setting. Meanwhile, the old mining village of Plagne 1800 feels classically Alpine. La Plagne is part of the Paradiski area, which hosts 425 km of slopes, and a vast mix of skiing, après-ski, and mountain charm.
As part of the Paradiski domain, La Plagne is a huge and varied ski area. The resort itself has 118 runs, with a good balance of 75 beginner-friendly blues and greens, 25 challenging reds, and 18 expert black pistes. At 3,250 metres, the Bellecôte Glacier is perfect for off-piste, high-altitude glacier skiing with excellent snow conditions and stunning views. Apart from skiing, there’s a good handful of winter sports to experience. Snowboarders can hit the snow park and race boardercross, thrill-seekers can try bobsleighing on an Olympic bobsleigh track, and ski touring or snowshoeing open up a different way to explore the mountain. La Plagne’s modern ski lifts, varied terrain and snow reliability make it a pretty much perfect destination for your Alpine holiday.
La Plagne has a laid-back but lively après-ski scene, with options to suit all moods - whether you want to dance on tables, sip wine by the fire, or just hang out with friends. The resort’s different villages each have their own après style, from casual mountain bars to buzzing late-night spots. For a classic après-ski atmosphere, The Mine in Plagne 1800 is a must-visit, with its rustic decor and live music. Over in Plagne Centre, Igloo Igloo and Le Luna are great for cocktails and live DJs, while Scotty’s is a popular Brit-style pub that’s always buzzing. If you fancy something a little different, The Bodega in Belle Plagne has a Spanish vibe with tapas and wine. And if you’d rather a relaxed evening, there are plenty of cosy bars serving up local craft beers, fine wines, and warm vin chaud.
