The Skiing

Offering over 200km of pistes spread across 11 ski resorts, each with their own character, La Plagne is an intermediate’s paradise with long wide motorway pistes. Its altitude and many north-facing slopes guarantee excellent snow cover. Some great off-piste areas, plenty of space for boarders and nursery slopes near each village ensure its suitability for skiers of all levels.

The Resorts:-
Belle Plagne 2050m

The firm favourite with the British for its modern but attractive wood and slate small, quality residences, abundant nursery slopes, very good child care facilities and location at the base of the gondola leading to the Bellecote glacier and the Roche de Mio. Car free centre. Connected to Bellecote by free gondola until 0100 in the morning.
Non-skiing: fitness centre, bowling, piano bars and restaurants.

Plagne Soleil 2050m

Bellecote 1930m

Les Coches 1450m

The local slopes are excellent for beginners, whilst intermediates can access the whole of La Plagne circuit easily, and there are plenty of activities for non skiers.
