La Plagne Reviews & Ratings

Huge skiing area, easy links to Les Arcs, with lots of different runs of different levels if you’re travelling with people who have different levels of experience.
Main bottleneck is Plagne Bellecote towards the end of the day- careful of the moguls on all pistes from about 2pm!
Loved that it feels like most people are considerate riders in the area

La Plagne is a fantastic all round resort. It has a great selection of bars and restaurants, some more lively than others but always a great atmosphere to be found for apres ski. The slopes are vast and offer a really varied day of skiing for the intermediate skier on fast red runs from the top of the glacier to sprawling open wide blue runs and more inimate pistes through the forest. You will never run out of slopes to ski, just make sure you make it back to the resort in time before the lifts close! The lifts themselves are extremely well kept and maintained with a number fo cable cars going to the higher peaks and fast reliable chair lists and drag lifts dotted everywhere. Snow conditions were great all over the resort including the snow parks and leraner areas. There is plenty of other activities to do as well such as bowling, swimming and relaxing. It was just a fantastic place, couldn't fault anything.

La Plagne is a fantastic resort for everyone. It's absolutely huge and consists of many separate resorts all lift connected. My favourite is Belle Plagne right at the top.
We'd usually pop down to Plagne Centre after supper for a drink or two as it's the most lively area although each village does of course have several bars as well.
I'd certainly reccommend La Plagne for anyone whatever their ability.

I have visited the La Plagne ski area and stay in Belle Plagne for the last few years. I stay in a self catered apartment that has direct access to the piste. There is a good variety of ski runs - ideal for beginner and intermediate skiers and the Les Arcs area is also accessible.
Belle Plagne is a family resort - there are some restaurants and bars. There is a small supermarket, bakery and delicatessen making self catering possible. Plagne Bellecote also has shops, bars and restaurants and is linked via a gondola so can be accessed during the evening.
In my opinion, Belle Plagne and the wider La Plagne ski area offers good value, beautiful scenery and great skiing - and is certainly worth visiting.

La Plagne isn’t really one resort. It’s made up of multiple villages at different heights - some linked, some not. Each has their own unique character so do your research about where to stay. We stayed in Plagne 1800 - have to say it’s my favourite so far and will stay there again next time. All your facilities are 1 min away. 2 lift options to start the day, supermarket, pool, info centre and restaurants. In my opinion it also had the best bar in all of La Plagne. - Bar La Mine. Great staff, all the sports, live music every night. Also notable nod to Bar Bobsleigh which is also very good. Huge ski area in its own right but linked to Les Arcs via the Vanoise express cable car means you will never be short of runs. My favourite runs are down to Montalbert from Aime 2000- which are tree lined making it a great place to head for in white out snowy conditions. Montalbert also has a great restaurant - Les 2 Zebras - the pizza is outstanding. Apres ski either in Le Bonnet in Plagne Bellecôte or La Bergerie above Plagne villages are great fun. We also went to the Olympic bobsleigh down the valley a couple of stops on the free bus. What an adrenaline rush - but book ahead. Off piste is usually excellent but due to lack of snow in the previous few weeks before we went it was too hard to venture into although we did get a dump of snow on our final day meaning we could get a taste of powder. Les Arcs had the best of the snow parks but as it’s early season I’m sure there will be more features added in LP when more snow arrives. Fabulous boarder cross course in LP too. Don’t forget to pose or smile on the chairlifts as you get your photo taken and you can download it free on the app with a simple tap on the machine with your lift pass at the top of the chairlift departure. Resort is also high which means it’s pretty snow sure - if there isn’t snow here then its unlikely there is any anywhere nearby. Highly recommend

La Plagne is always a favourite resort for us. Such an enormous range of slopes with the bonus of being able to ski Les Arcs too.

I went with my 2 kids a wife :nd age 7 and 9 and another family with similar aged kids. We had a great time is n a superb catered chalet by alpoholics. Snow was great. Vast area and didn’t even need to head over to les arcs. Highly recommend.

We stayed in Belle Plagne over Christmas week, and this was our third time visiting the area.
The skiing in the area is superb, especially with access to Les Arc. A large variety of runs so great for mixed ability groups. an plenty of skiing without getting bored.
Being snow-sure at Christmas is an extremely important part of our resort choice. Even though snowfall wasn’t amazing this year, the resort did a great job keeping the pistes well maintained, with minimal ice. The lift system is one of the biggest positives, we rarely experienced any lengthy queues.
Belle Plagne is very family friendly and has a genuinely great vibe. It feels safe, easy to get around, and there’s a nice atmosphere in the village.
We stayed at Résidence Les Balcons de Belle Plagne (4* & Spa).
It was clean, functional, and did the job well. It’s not luxury in terms of style, but it’s comfortable and practical, ideal if you’re mostly out on the slopes.
The food in hotel was acceptable, but nothing special. On the slopes and generally in the resort its superb with great variety.
Overall, Le Playne is an excellent choice for a Christmas ski trip. We’ve been three times, and we’d definitely return again!

We stayed in a 12 person chalet in La Plagne 1800, the views were stunning, facilities in the town were very good. Great lifts up into the main ski area. Blue runs were definitely more difficult that other ski areas such as Val Thorens. The piste was very well groomed and there are some awesome off piste sections under the Colarado Lift. The food options are endless with tonnes of great choices for all budgets. I am looking forward to going back when they have a good snow dump.

We stayed in La Plagne for some Easter Skiing with family and friends in an apartment in Belle Plagne. It could not have been more ski in/ski out with doors that litterally opened onto the slopes.

The ski area is large and catered for us all, from beginner to advancing intermediates. There were a lot of unique things like the tunnel, a cool fun slope and snow park. The highlight was the slalom run to channel my olympic spirit complete with crowd noises and footage shared to the app at the end.

Snow was good from the resort level up. Towards the lower parts of the ski map it was more sparse but even in April the vast majority of runs were open.

Great resort, lots to see and do, definitely recommend.

Kids loved the buffalo parks and the ski cross fun park, the disco tunnel, an the hidden forest trolls (Lutins)
Huge area with so much to explore. Great high up on the glacier and plenty of fun an adventure.

MMV at 2000 was awesome but don’t seem to find it this year.

Considering returning to belle plagne to be a bit more central.

Pistes were easily accssable.Very few long lift waiting except first thing in la plagne central.We were able to ski whole area

An excellent holiday with great snow conditions! The lift system in La Plagne struggles to serve the number of people the resort can hold however - serious bottlenecks build at the some of the main lifts at village level and there aren’t many half way stations to help you stay high. The resort is a beginner to intermediates dream with tons of blue runs. Some blues are quite challenging in fact, and could be deemed reds. The apres ski at La Bergerie above Plagne solely, and Le Bonnet in Plagne Bellecôte are excellent fun. Access to Les Arcs on the full Paradiski pass is a must - it’s a better ski area over the IMO. I recommend La Plagne but it can get busy.

Been there a few times, great runs with amazing views, my friend who had never skied had lessons an was able to do blues and some reds with confidence by the end of the week, ski school instructor definitely knew what he was doing, great weather and conditions was top tier, as well as the hotel where we stayed (MMV) being very nice, would 100% recommend to all levels

Really enjoyed my trip, for beginner level skiers there’s lots of appropriate slopes (lots of blues at various difficulties) and my friends at a more intermediate level were able to find appropriate reds and blacks too. The night life was pretty poor, there was one or two bars in La Plagne and Igloo Igloo bar was rubbish I would avoid (expensive drinks, bad music and horrible management). A couple of good spots for Apres but maybe more family friendly vibe.

Great place. Would love to go again! Brilliant atmosphere, runs and scenery. Beautiful part of the world.

Loads of accommodation options, all well serviced with lifts. Plenty of bars and restaurants with lifts staying open late to help you get around. Piste choices were great especially blue and red slopes. Second time here so must have liked it.

We had a fantastic week, had 2 afternoon private ski lessons and loved every second. Took sledges out on a night and enjoyed all the restaurants and bars especially la Bergerie for the party atmosphere

I went to La Plagne with a group of friends, using catered accommodation and the ski in/out was amazing, food was amazing, slopes were amazing too! Very family friendly place and definitely considering going back with our kids next time!

You need to be in the resort’s high altitude centres to really have the best choice of apres ski venues. The middle and lower centres have very limited bar and restaurants available.
