La Plagne

Ten villages, one Olympic bobsleigh track and a glacier at Bellecôte that holds snow into spring. La Plagne is the other half of Paradiski, and one of the surest family bets in the whole Tarentaise.

Ski-in/ski-out

Plagne Centre, Belle Plagne and Bellecôte put accommodation right on the slopes. Lower villages such as Champagny-en-Vanoise are valley-based.

Get to know the resort

Few resorts work harder for families: gentle nursery areas, the famous bobsleigh run for a thrill and ten villages to pick a budget. The high, snow-sure satellites like Belle Plagne are the smart base, with the lower hamlets better for quiet and value.
