The Skiers' Guide to La Plagne

Went a little too early in the season in my opinion, slopes icy and many blacks closed due to lack of snow, lifts were quick and easy to access, good for all levels and families, beautiful area in general

Excellent family resort and snow sure especially if you stay in Belle Plagne which is all ski in and out. Restaurants on mountain are plentiful and good. However a bit average in the village.

La Plagne - Massive ski area and connects Les Arcs. Snow sure as resort at 2000m. Eating out / Apres not the best but improving as restaurants realising they have a market. Pretty French. Recommended

amazing! ski resort is not too big nor too small, amazing restaurants and speed and there are definitely budget-friendly options!

We were a group of 19 people with an age range between 13 and 58 and with varied levels of ability. The huge Paradiski area meant everyone was happy!

We enjoyed the variety of runs and the size of the ski area. La Bergerie was good fun for some Apres ski at the end of the day and where we stayed in La Plagne Villages there was a great lift down into La Plagne Centre that ran late at night for extra eating out options.

La Plagne is a lovely resort set in a huge area which is really key for me so that there's plenty of variety. We had a ski to door chalet and plenty of runs to do in the area, never got bored the whole week! Always something going on, although I am there for the skiing only and the apres ski of course! Being France, plenty of delicious food too.

Super happy with our trip to La Plagne, we stayed in Plagne 1800 which offered great connectivity across the whole Paradiski ski area
We ventured over to Les Arcs one day and really enjoyed having the wider ski area to explore
Lots of other activities to enjoy aside from the slopes, including bobsleigh which some friends and my partner did, spas, bars and shops.
We will definitely return!

Great area, lots of variety, very different villages/mostly ski in/ski out . Something for everyone, including expansive area including Les Arcs

La plange is a great place to snowboard! Lovely well groomed piste and minimal flat runs. Ski schools are mainly on the lower runs and don’t take over the runs too much.

Great ski resort, perfect for families. With great accommodation options available, highly recommended!

Great for first time skier, lots of places to rest and beginner friendly slopes. Enjoyed every moment

La Plagne has lots of well groomed slopes - mainly blues with a few reds and blacks here and there.There are busier and quieter slopes - exploring with the beautiful snowy mountains and blue skies was amazing!
At times the lifts are busy especially after 3pm but we did visit for new year.
Lots of options for Apres Ski - Bergerie and La Mine were our favourites.

Massive resort with good variety of runs. Most runs are nice and wide with swooping corners. We didnt get any fresh snow while we were there so some of the runs were a bit icy, but most still had fluffy powder on top. Hot chocolates on the slopes were 5/5, cant comment on the food tho as we just took a picnic. Some of the chair lifts are really low so you have to make sure you lift your feet enough when you get on them.

Love skiing in La Plagne, the ski area is fantastic and there’s plenty for all abilities.

Eating out is ok there’s plenty of choice, especially throughout the day and up on the slopes. Apres is fantastic.

Would definitely return without a second thought!

Amazing resort
Plenty of space on slopes even when busy. Stayed in "ski in ski out" for 6 nights in belle plangne. Can definitely recommend the bar at the bottom of the gondola station!

Stayed in Belle Plagne where there were plenty of ski in/ski out options. Good variety of runs although some blues could be greens and others could be reds! The glacier runs were excellent. Went in the first week of the season and it was so quiet on the slopes. Never waited more than 5 mins for a lift. Would visit again!

Loved many things, the vast area to ski and good for all abilities and families. Something for everyone whether it is on the slopes or off. Reasonably priced and all in all a fab resort

We had the best time in La Plagne!! We stayed at La Lauziere in Montalbert late March, which was fantastic and great AI for a treat. Easy to get all over LaP from there during the day and back to base through the trees. We loved the disco tunnel piste and the Rodeo kids run with the kids. So many blues, wide and fun, was ace. We finished every afternoon with Apres at La Bergerie, from 2.30pm it is amazing with dancers, DJs, fire dancers and musicians and my vin chaud. Honestly I'm struggling to choose another resort for this year as we loved LaP so much!!

We organised a large group holiday to La Plagne in 2025. We were a group of friends with a wide mix of skiing ability (from first timers to those wanting to send it off piste all day). This is a great resort, catering to all levels of experience! I’d highly suggest getting tv lift pass which gives access to Les Arcs to provide additional skiing for those who want it.

The only downside to this being such a catch all resort is that it does tend to get overcrowded. This leads to a lot of the entrances to towns becoming cut up and bumpy by the end of the day. Those in our party with less confidence/ stamina ended up beginning the apres earlier to avoid.

Regarding apres, the resort is going from strength to strength. I’ve been coming to La Plagne for several years, and the bars and clubs keep popping up.

Again, the area is just as family focused as it is booze focused. Every ski station has great options for family friendly meals!

I will definitely be returning to the resort again and again.
