Skiing in La Plagne

One of the highest resorts in the Alps, La Plagne offers some of the most exciting and varied high altitude skiing in Europe.
The resort of La Plagne is a collection of  ten linked ski villages, with altitudes ranging from 1250 to 2100 metres, and offering 220kms of piste skiing. The Paradiski ski area of La Plagne and Les Arcs now offers over 425kms of piste skiing, linked by the Vanoise Express - the world's largest cable car. So, all in all perfect skiing for every ability.

Beginner skiers start out on the broad nursery slopes right on the doorstep of our Chalethotel Christina, and soon graduate to a vast theatre of blue runs, which give second week skiers the chance to spread their wings and discover the thrill of high mileage skiing.  Experts set their sights on the Bellecôte glacier with its superb long black pistes and untracked powder slopes - a rare chance to ski descents of more than 2000 vertical metres.

Off the Slopes

If you're brave enough, you can try out the Olympic bob sleigh run. Opposite our chalethotel, you can enjoy floodlit skiing in the evenings or participate in slalom competitions at the La Plagne Centre.

Apres Ski

Off the slopes there is a selection of bars and restaurants, including our own Scotty's Bar with a large sun terrace at the foot of the slopes. 

Ski School

Our recommended ski school "Oxygene" in La Plagne has been named 'Best Ski School in Europe' in the Hardy's Skiing & Snowboarding Awards. Oxygene provide ski lessons from 4 years right up to adults of any level.  And also run a special snowman ski class for 3 year olds.
