Ski France - La Plagne Ski Resort Information & Description

The ski resort of La Plagne is an inviting collection of ten villages, all with accommodation practically on the slopes. Linked to neighbouring Les Arcs by the double decker 'Vanoise Express' cable car, it makes up part of the Paradiski area.  With two glaciers reaching to heights of over 3000m, La Plagne forms one of the biggest snow-sure skiing areas in the world. This resort is a popular choice for families and mixed groups due to its varied range of skiing and the promise of even more runs to explore across the valley.

With numerous red and blue runs spread across the mountainside, La Plagne has plenty to offer for beginner and intermediate skiers. There are also a number ski schools in the villages and an abundance of nursery slopes for those just finding their 'ski feet'.
