La Plagne Reviews & Ratings

La Plagne is a great area to ski, if you have time (no children) you can get access to Les Arcs also.
In busier times try to avoid coming down to bellecotte until you need to. This is where lots of lifts meet.

Good selection of runs for all levels. Variety of on slope restaurants. Can be queues in la plagne centre but do tend to clear quickly. Very efficient lift from Bellecote. Dont like bottleneck around above Belle cote. Nice tree runs on route down to Montchavin.

We visited La Plagne for the first time as our daughter was working a ski season out there. We usually go to Tignes. We were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation which was actually better than we expected. We were close to the slopes and could ski back to the door down a side path. The slopes were a very pleasant surprise. Lots of slopes for intermediate skiers which were in good condition. Lots of slope options and lifts too. It was easy to navigate around the lifts and slopes. We liked the fact that there were lots of mini villages you could ski too and stop off for lunch and drinks, our favourite was Bellevue. Prices were similar to Tignes I.e. expensive. Good choice of restaurants and bars with cheaper options available. A good range of supermarkets
and gift shops so you could get everything you needed. We used the buses and the gondolas to get around which were frequent and well maintained. Overall a really good resort and we are so pleased to have found it. We will hopefully soon be back!

Very family friendly resort, good skiing with lots of blues and reds but not much blacks other than the non groomed runs. Would recommend for intermediate skiers

Stayed in a lower town (I forget the name) but had a fabulous time for a long weekend of skiing. Would highly recommend. Snow was a bit patchy lower down but the red and blue runs were great for a desk rat that only goes skiing every few years. Atmosphere on the slopes was cheerful and friendly.

Was ok, rude people but good slopes. Very busy but was probably to do with time of year due to French school holidays

La plagne is a lovely place and plenty of good runs and lifts connecting the various resorts.

The downside was the lack of food choices, you had to book at least a day or two in advance, and even then the food was not the greatest and over priced. Also, no bars or restaurants had any heaters outside to drink in the early evenings, which was bizarre as the pubs inside were tiny.

The other downside was there was dog poo everywhere, no one picked up after their dogs!

I loved the skiing as a first timer, and the runs were great, plenty of family friendly runs as well as more advanced, but not sold on the resort away from the slopes.

It was great resort, spent a week and didn’t get board. Massive area and lots of runs for everyone’s needs

A genuinely great resort, it’s been a long time since we last went skiing and our first time to this resort, but really impressed by everything, There was plenty of green and blue runs for us to find our feet and all connected by well managed lifts so you’re not wasting time trying to get around. Didn’t take too much advantage of the apres but there’s plenty of atmosphere and places to be in the evening.

Would highly recommend a visit

We came for New Year’s Eve week. Had a good time but snow was minimal and there was minimal snow machines running

A great family friendly resort with a good choice of runs. Lots of restaurants to chose from and fun apres!

We drive to resort and can reserve parking at our accommodation. But there is ample parking in resort if you can't park at your accommodation. We stay at 1800 village which is quiter but has it own apre, ski hire shops,and lift pass office( so beat the ques) and food shops and bars, it also has a starting point for ski school by the lifts to plange center.Easy access to lifts to get to where you need to be to get on the main slopes . 1800 is ease to get back to when the lifts stop by either riding down or on the local buses system which run frequently and is free and run till early hours .There are slopes for everyone from advanced to beginners and is a great family destination.

La plagne is a sick resort, one of my favourites I’ve been to! There’s so many runs and plenty of blues, but beware - most of them aren’t absolute beginner-friendly, so I’d make sure you’re relatively confident before going. There’s so much variety too: great tree runs, beautiful red/blue/black routes from the peaks that go both sides of the mountains into different valleys and the views everywhere are just insane. Plus, there’s the Olympic bobsleigh run!
Unfortunately, as it’s such a good resort, it can get pretty busy. Both sides of La Verdon mountain, the lifts can have long queues. The same goes for lifts from Plagne centre, which is probably the most popular village there for it’s accessibility to a lot of places, it’s cafes and ski schools.
The snow was generally great! A bit of ice in the lower areas, especially on the tree runs, but a nice bit of powder in some places too! There’s this one fantastic bar for Apres: La Bergerie. Dancers, DJ, Saxophonist, Hype-Man and just the best vibes. There’s a few other really nice apres bars, as well as good locals bars and the prices aren’t awful if you’re used to drinking in the Alps!

Deservedly renowned as a family friendly resort but don’t let this fool you into thinking that advanced skiers and small groups are not fantastically served.

Really easy to get to the slopes from any accommodation and great access to all different levels and areas of the resort. It was my first time snowboarding in Europe, coming from Australia it was a really great time with my partner and her Dad's family. It was busy due to being school holidays but got some very nice flowing red runs early in the morning when things were a bit quieter. Overall a really great week and would love to go back

A great ski area, varied levels of skiing for all abilities. Linked to Les Arcs to form a huge ski area. If conditions are good, there are lots of tree lined runs lower down, though can get a bit slushy/sparse if it warms up. Great high altitude skiing on the upper slopes.

The runs are good, especially when up past 1800 metres.
Shame the runs aren’t groomed more often - the red runs are nicer to ski down than the blues as the blues being busier tend to have mogel mounds from turns.
Staff everywhere very nice and welcoming, and sign posts are great.
Special shout out to the Yuge app - brilliant app with everything in one place and the most accurate I’ve used in a while!

Spent a season here, fantastic all round resort. Lots of different types of runs and different accommodation

Superb weather the week we were there. Great ski in ski out accommodation. Good food choices. Great days on the slopes. Plenty for the intermediate skier!

Great family resort, huge area which beginners can easily access. Also lots of great reds dotted around too.
