A RESORT OF EXTRAORDINARY VARIETY
What sets La Plagne apart from other major Alpine resorts is the sheer variety within its domain. The La Plagne commune encompasses eleven distinct resort villages, each with its own character from the purpose-built high-altitude stations of Plagne Bellecôte and Plagne Centre, to the charming traditional villages of Champagny-en-Vanoise and Montchavin-Les Coches lower in the valley. This diversity means that buyers can choose between the convenience of ski-in ski-out access at altitude, the authenticity of a traditional Alpine village, or the family-friendly atmosphere of the lower stations all within the same vast ski domain.
The Paradiski link with Les Arcs via the Vanoise Express one of the world's largest cable cars, carrying 200 passengers per cabin opens up the entire domain in minutes, effectively doubling the skiing on offer and making La Plagne one of the most complete ski destinations in the world.
THE LA PLAGNE LIFESTYLE
La Plagne is a destination that rewards all seasons. In winter, the resort delivers everything a skier could want exceptional piste variety from beginner nursery slopes to demanding black runs, a renowned bobsleigh track (the only one in France, used for the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics), and a vibrant après-ski culture ranging from mountain restaurants to lively bars in the resort villages. Snowshoeing, ice skating, paragliding, and husky sledding round out a winter activity programme that keeps non-skiers equally well entertained.
Summer in La Plagne is increasingly popular with visitors who come for the mountain biking, hiking, via ferrata, and the extraordinary freedom of the high Alpine landscape. The resort's summer opening has significantly extended the rental season, improving yields for property owners and broadening the appeal of La Plagne as a year-round mountain lifestyle destination.
Practically, La Plagne benefits from excellent connections to the wider world. Chambéry Airport is approximately 90 minutes away, Lyon Airport around 2 hours, and Geneva Airport under 2.5 hours all served by direct flights from the UK and across Europe throughout the winter season. The nearest TGV station at Bourg-Saint-Maurice connects directly to Paris in just over 3 hours.
