La Plagne Reviews & Ratings

In April 2026, I went on my first ski trip ever! I chose La Plagne because the reviews said it was beginner-friendly and a great destination towards the end of the season. Although I didn’t have much to compare it to, this first ski trip was everything I could have wanted.

I stayed in a ski-in/ski-out accommodation in La Plagne Bellecôte, which was a lovely place to stay. It offered great amenities and an easy run to the lifts in the morning, along with a pleasant route back at the end of the day. The accommodation also had a great storage facility and even provided fondue kits at reception, which made for some fun dinners.

The bars and restaurants on the slopes and in the village were fantastic, offering a wide variety of options to choose from. Although they were a bit pricey, the food made for a great lunch stop. The selection of blue runs was perfect for practising skiing. My favorite was definitely the run that featured a music tunnel. I went with my partner, who has been skiing their whole life, and they thoroughly enjoyed both the blue runs and the broad selection of red runs. This allowed us to have a wonderful skiing experience at our different skill levels. I gained a lot of confidence during the week I was there, thanks to the range of runs available to us.

I would highly recommend La Plagne for beginners, and also for a group of skiers who have different skiing abilities.

Gorgeous weather
Great snow even though late in season. Quiet but I think that's because or was late season

Being a skiier going from snow plough turns into parallel and needing help I enrolled in a ski school. I couldnt keep up with the group I was in and being last the ski instuctor got fed up with me and I ended up lost on the mountain, found it dufficult to get down some of the slopes and ended up in tears. They were unsympathetic and I heard many complaints about the school. With my lost confidence at a high I went to the other school Oxygen and paid for a private lesson for 1 hour. What a difference! Thanks to them I enjoyed a good skiing holiday. Thank you Oxygen.

Good resort, massive area and good lift system. Plenty of food options. All in all had a great time.

Had a fantastic late-season holiday in La Plagne this year. My girlfriend and I booked last-minute, desperate to hit the slopes as it was her first year ever skiing! She'd done four indoor slope lessons at Hemel, so needed a resort which would cater for both very early beginners, and experienced skiers (i.e. myself). La Plagne was able to offer a lot with that in mind. A large ski field with lots of blues, a decent handful of reds and the odd black run. Being late in the season, black runs were very skied-out, but many remained open for the daring. We had exceptional food eating out (and I mean EXCEPTIONAL) up the mountain, and many of the restaurants offered a wide variety of different lagers and ales (yum!).
We also made our own food on certain days, and the resort had quite a few supermarkets - some even ski in/out. I was impressed with how convenient the ammenities were. Many of the accomodation options were ski in/out, and even came with a fondue/raclette maker for a bit of fun!
There were public pools and spas with adult-only time slots, overlooking the resort, which offered a nice relief from long and hard skiing days.
We stayed in Belle Plagne which was a gorgeous part of the ski field, offering lots of bars, cafes, restaurants, clothes & souvinier shops, ski rental shops and even a bowling alley where they also showed the football.
I have to say, overall, we both thoroughly enjoyed our holiday - even being that there was a fairly decent gap in our skiing abilities, the layout of the ski field and nice wide pistes meant it remained fun for both learning short turns and practicing large carving turns.
I could see lots of families enjoying this as it catered for lots of mixed abilities and the convenient layout of the resorts made it very easy to get from A to B both on and off skis.
Easy <2hr transfer from Geneva which was quicker than I was expecting, and there are large underground parking facilities for those less enavid with flying.
On the Apres side, we had a good boogie at La Bergerie with live saxaphone and a few dancers. Compared with others? I'd say we checked out quite a few places for Apres and La Bergerie was by far the most lively -- think Folie but a little tamer and more suitable for the 10+ age group to join in for some fun! If you're after the likes of Coco Ricos, it'll be finder to find something of the sort in La Plagne ... but you are definitely about 70% of the way there!
Overall, taking into consideration my 18+ years of experience skiing, I would say La Plagne had a lot ot offer. It was by far one of the most well-rounded ski trips I've done and I will most certainly be returning ... probably when a little-me-jr pops out.
For reference, we're both mid-20s, from London. Had a cracking time, made some great memories, and definitely didn't break the bank.

La plagne is one of my favourite resorts for the variation of pistes and the ease of getting around. Good amount of skiing to lift ratio

Nice resort with plenty of intermediate runs, great ski area with lots of variety. Good for all types of skiing.

Really loved how friendly La Plagne is. It’s broken down into little villages. Really easy to get around and lovely slopes which weren’t too busy

Plenty of fun bars for Apres too

We tend to ski during easter as the weather is better, La Plagne is somewhere we have been to previously as there are great skiing options. The runs are great and the people are always friendly.

Great fun holiday! The slopes were quiet and the snow was plentiful. All the staff were friendly too!

Stayed in Belle Plagne. Great location. Ski in ski out, much easier with young kids. Would recommend ski lessons for kids in the mornings not afternoons (even though afternoons are cheaper). Would 100% go back, my kids loved it.

Amazing resort, plenty of wide blue runs, perfect for beginners and families! April was really quiet, no lift queues and the slopes were pretty empty!

Awesome resort, been several times. Will be going back. Would even rate the skiing above kitzbuhel

Excellent!

Great for skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels.
Had a great time and hopefully will be returning soon!

It was a great resort which had a great drinking culture for young people aswell as a family friendly side

Excellent time to go in Easter as higher up at 2000m and higher if going to the glacier. Quieter on the slopes end of the last week with still lots of snow but beautiful sunshine for the excellent aprez and folie douche at La Bergerie. The beginners pass was good for the first day as we had kids but then ventured further.

Great family resort. We travelled as a family of 4. Kids 7&10. Went out of school holidays so the slopes were quieter and lifts had no queues. Ski school was fab in the mornings and then the kids came out with us in the afternoon. Slow and steady - but snow parks and tunnel were fab

First time ever skiing, la plagne was the perfect place to do it! By the end of the week I was on blacks.

Was in la plange for the week and loved the holiday staying in 1800 was great acsess to the slopes and apres wich was fab. The sking was excellent the snow conditions ideal with sun and not overcrowded slopes very happy

Fantastic and vast area to ski with relatively quiet slopes.
Apres a little expensive with no happy hour bars
