Ski Holidays In La Plagne

Made up of 10 separate villages, La Plagne is an ideal winter sport holiday destination for families, beginners and intermediates owing to its wide, gentle slopes. The lower villages are traditional Savoyard hamlets with a quaint alpine charm while those higher up the slopes are purpose built ski resorts interlinked by pistes and a free bus service. The purpose built villages of Belle Plagne and Plagne Centre form the hub of the resort where you will find the majority of shops, restaurants and bars with easy access to many of the pistes. Together with the neighboring resort of Les Arcs, it forms the vast Paradiski ski area.
