La plagne for me has it all. Plenty of easy level abs intermediate pistes along with some challenging ones and so much great off piste if you know where to go. As a Seasonnaires Ive worked there for 14 seasons and still find new places to go. Its well priced and very friendly too.

La Plagne has a number of smaller resorts that make up the whole area. Good lift linkage and wide range of runs. Run down through Bellepagne can't be busy and hard work by end of day. Some beautiful runs up higher and lovely piste down to Plagne centre. Most enjoyed with teens rather than younger good skiers. Some great fast lifts in Plagne Belle and good bus routes linking all areas.

Fantastic resort that has something brilliant for everyone. Huge range of slopes to tackle and youd struggle to do them all in one week. Access to Les Arcs resort is easy, doubling your ski area. Locals are friendly, restaurants and bars are traditional and great for a few drinks. The Apres is excellent! Great atmosphere, music and drinks. The Apres seems to improve year on year bringing a younger demographic which in turn makes the resort so much better. Paradiski invest so much in lifts, runs and upkeep of the resort it makes it well worth the money. Love it!

Very family friendly resort. Our youngest is too young for ski school and was able to attend the local nursery. Accommodation in Plagne Centre is expensive by comparison to other parts of the resort (but not prohibitively so), however it means all amenities are on your door step; ski school, nursery, shops, restaurants, lifts etc! Being ski in ski out was very handy with the age our kids are at! The actual skiing is great, some lovely runs and great to have access to Les Arcs as well!

Huge variety of runs runs for all levels. Numerous mountain villages all connected by amazing lifts and runs. Great public transport which is free between villages. Been skiing here for over 20 years and it gets better and better. New lift Live3000 is incredible allowing access to high runs. La Plagne is connected to Les Arcs so huge area to ski in. Accommodation caters for all budgets. Good hotels, apartments and chalets. Restaurants on mountain and villages are all of a high standard. Tourism is in their blood and they get that the visitor is important. Buy lift passes prior to going for the best deals. Opening an online account is easy. If going for more than three weeks buy a season ticket.

I skied La Plagne with my daughter in March 2022. We both loved it. Big resort with good lift network, lots of different runs making a good variety of skiing, and fun link to Les Arcs. We ski hard (up to 100km a day) and we never got bored and I dont think we skied the entire area. It never felt crowded on the pistes, but we were outside school holidays. We stayed in a self catering flat, there was a well stocked supermarket and for lunch wed either ski down to a supermarket and pick up a baguette to eat up the mountain or stop at a snack bar. So costs can be kept down. We would definitely ski La Plagne again, its pretty snow sure as its quite high and just had a nice relaxed vibe about it. Compared to other big ski areas it seemed pretty good value for money.

We've been here several times and although t's gotten busier over years it has been wonderful every time. The area lets you travel a long way and has bars on the snow. It's not the cheapest for food but worth it. It won't be our last time.

Have done 2 seasons in the resort now. Very well priced compared to surrounding area. Actual ski area is very large and great its linked with les arc. Eating out is a little limited but good. Snow park has majorly improved this season due to new management. Overall very good resort would recommend to a friend.
