Ski Weekends in La Plagne, France

Part of the esteemed Paradiski area, linked to Les Arcs, for the ultimate high altitude skiing

La Plagne is a firm favourite for skiers and snowboarders who like high altitude slopes and extensive pistes, not to mention lots of off-piste on top! The link to Les Arcs via the Vanoise Express (a €12 million Cable Car) has created a huge ski area in excess of 425Km’s which makes it the fourth largest in France.

Snow sure? You betcha!

The snow sure nature of La Plagne is guaranteed by the glacier skiing at Plagne Bellecôte, which extends up to 3250 metres. And a second glacier over in Les Arcs, the Aguille Rouge . From here you will find up to 2000m vertical drop, with great skiing and boarding for all abilities and a seemingly endless supply of powder, and not to mention some of the longest descents in France.

Reinventing an old favourite

Les Arcs is making a comeback. In its web of many villages, it offers 10km glacier-descents and an expansive network of Green and Blue runs. From high altitude to the lower valleys, Bourg Saint Maurice to 1600, 1800, 1950 and Les Arcs 2000, each has its own unique feel. Home to ‘ski evolutif’ teaching methods and an Olympic speed skiing course, it stands out from the rest as an accomplished location with new twists at every turn. The Regis Roland 'A Boards' team snowpark is as good as it gets. The ski area is excellent for beginners with very good schools, and plenty of child-friendly facilities. The ski-to-door location of most accommodation in Les Arcs is a bonus for beginners and families, with walking kept to a bare minimum. Après ski is low key with less bars and restaurants, but the night awaits at neighbouring La Plagne…
