Scenic sights
There is much more than to do in La Plagne than simply skiing. Keen explorers can get to know this stunning resort in the summer months by visiting the Grotte des Glaces. These caves spend half the year covered with glittering ice and in the summer months they come alive with colourful wildlife, including iguanas, marmots, birds of prey and flowers.
Sports enthusiasts are encouraged to enjoy activities such as archery and golf, and other thrilling ways to explore La Plagne include enjoying the scenic views from up high by paragliding or on the high cable run.
Ascend the mountain
Hiking is popular in this resort all summer long thanks to the vast stretches of idyllic scenery and the flora and fauna which can be found here. If you're looking for a leisurely stroll, take a walk through the footpaths of the Bief Boffet, Les Mairiers, and the Cavard Walk. For something slightly more challenging take a guided hike through the rugged mountainside of the Grande Plagne or even a horseback ride around Dou du Praz; a pretty, sloped area of the mountain.
Another exciting way to make the most of the rolling green landscape of the area is to try your hand at cliff climbing. There are climbing opportunities for both children and grown-ups, with self-sufficient and assisted options available for all levels.
Take to the water
During the summer months, this sun soaked resort in the valley of the Isere River becomes a haven for water activities. Canoeing and kayaking are particularly popular in the wild waters of the area, along with canyoning in rapids and mountain streams. Vanoise National Park is a great spot for fishing, and first timers and seasoned experts alike can enjoy fishing for arctic chars and rainbow trout in this spot of natural beauty.
Slow down and unwind
After a day out in the sunny French mountains, a great way to unwind and pamper yourself from head to toe is with a visit to one of the spa and wellness centres of the resort. Spas such as Spa Bellecote, Espace Paradisio, and Club Alpina all offer incredibly luxurious treatments which will leave you feeling thoroughly rejuvenated after a long, active day. Services and facilities on offer include saunas, steam rooms, ice baths, relaxing massages and beauty therapies.
The resort also features bowling alleys and games rooms where the entire family can have fun together. There is also a carousel to keep very small children entertained and an indoor climbing wall. When the kids just want to sit down and put their feet up, the family can pay a visit to the La Plagne's spacious cinema, with some English speaking films shown here.
