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.
