The Skiers' Guide to La Plagne

Had the best first ski trip, highly recommend La Plagne, I cannot wait to go again. Food, service and the lessons where amazing, it was a great location for the more seasoned skiers and boarders to!

La Plagne is phenomenal for area size and variety. Probably not worth it for beginners as it’s quite expensive nowadays. I’m happy to go to the same area every year as it’s so enormous and always offers so many options! The only problem is that the lifts get busier every year!

Lovely resort, Colorado is a favourite run! So many fantastic blues and reds, and bergerie and La Mine are great for apres.

Beautiful stunning Mountain View’s, everything is close by without having to travel far, runs for all levels. Had a good time

We stayed in Belle Plagne which is a great central location for the La Plagne area and also easy to access the Vanoise Express to Les Arcs.
The whole area has some great skiing particularly for beginners and intermediates.
The grooming of the pistes is to typical French standards which is definitely not as good as Italian or Austrian standards.
France is also very expensive to eat out but the food is delicious in the mountain restaurants.
Apres ski is good, La Bergerie was fun.

Had a great time, great for families, well setup and connected, we had the Les Arcs pass as well but would have been perfectly content without

La Plagne is a lovely resort. So picturesque. Great skiing and highly recommended for beginners and intermediates as mostly blue and red runs. A really good selection of bars and restaurants, cute shops and of course Après!

We stayed at the bottom of the resort in Montlebert. It was an all inclusive hotel which was great. We had daily lessons with esf ski school which were excellent and really pushed us to improve. It was very busy (but it was in between Christmas and New Year) and we would go again but would probably stay somewhere a bit livelier.

It was my first snowboarding holiday but our mate who have been on a few said we was spoiled for first time. I couldn’t ask for anything better. It was ski in ski out which I loved, there was la Bergerie on the slopes which blew my brain the first time I saw. I never knew there was apri on the slopes. The town its self had a few bars and restaurants, that was nice and not too over priced. The slopes were never too busy ,it was only busy over the first weekend we got there but in the week it wasn’t too bad. Would defo recommend this place to every one.

Stayed in Belle Plagne village as our first time skiing. A charming, quiet ski village, ideal for someone looking a relaxed trip. Great bars and restaurants on slope but if you’re looking for lively apres you’d be better off considering one of the bigger villages.

Great ski school experience with ESF as a beginner, lessons averaged around 7-8 people but they did a great job moving people between groups to keep the range of ability close.

Belle Plagne has everything you need whether you’re self catered or board (two well stocked SPARS). A couple of relaxed bars and a bowling alley that showed sports every night.

Runs were well groomed every day. Parts of the resort were prone to being very busy in the afternoon (Roche De Mio in particular), you’ll benefit from some local knowledge around what runs are best at each part of the day.

Lifts were efficient. And outside of the afternoon rush you’re unlikely to queue for a lift (we were there outside of UK school hols but it was holidays for one of the French zones).

La Plagne was an excellent trip during the first week of the season. Lots of space on the slopes and the skiing was excellent!
Easy to get across to Les Arcs as well! Highly recommended!

More of a collection of small resorts linked together with Plagne center having the more lively apres ski. You are bound to find your preferred scene in one of the resorts.

Ski runs have a good variety of difficulty with plenty of good off piste on offer.

The Vanoise express also opens the ability to travel to neighbouring Les Arcs for even more ski runs and dining options.

La plange is a very big resort, which offers lots of skiing at high altitude.
La Plange also connects with Les Arcs which offers even more high quality slopes to ski on.
The only downside to skiing over New Year is that the lifts and slopes are very busy! (as you would expect)
A top resort I would happily go to again.

I had so much fun at this resort. I’m a beginner who has only skied one week before. I loved the blue slopes here, there’s so much range so I could enjoy an easy run and also challenge myself on steeper terrain. I did a week of morning lesson with ESF which were great for building my confidence. I went with some friends who are more competent skiers and they loved most of the red and black runs too. We enjoyed some really tasty raclette and some drinks in the sun with absolutely stunning views. I didn’t partake in any après ski partied so can’t comment but overall it was an amazing week. Only thing is it did get very busy at times and it wasn’t a school holiday.

I had planned to spend a week in La Plagne in Feb and had a great time for 4 days, however due to a death in my immediate family had to leave early. Whilst I was there though, the conditions were beautiful and I really did enjoy it. I'll be coming back next year

Fantastic resort we stayed at chalet kishu 2 which was brilliant great food fantastic hosts and close to the slopes.

La plagne 1800 lacks a little of the party atmosphere but is advertised more at families anyway with burgerie nearby on an easy blue run.

Really nice resort we went as a family and there was stuff to do for everyone adults and teenagers. Had lots of fun and recommend

I visit Club Med Aime 2000 nearly every year, it's a amazing location with a HUGE piste area, loads of off piste routes and plenty of variety.

I will definitely be returning in the future when my daughter is old enough to start skiing.

The apres is top quality as is the slopes, lifts and atmosphere. The incredible views in every direction means that for my mother who no longer skis, she has plenty to enjoy otherwise.

Great location for family skiing. Lots of variety in pistes to cover all abilities of skiing. We have visited twice to different resorts across La Plagne and will certainly return.

New PopAlp hotel in great location - we travelled with children and found the apartments within the hotel great along side the kid’s menu as part of the half baked option
