La Plagne is a vast ski area in its own right. The Vanoise Express cable car links La Plagne with Les Arcs, forming one of the biggest ski areas in the world: Paradiski. Unfortunately however, for the 2007/08 winter season the Vanoise Express will be closed, please see our News page.
Our la Plagne chalets are all in Plagne 1800, one of 11 villages that make up La Plagne. Plagne 1800 is a great base for a ski holiday in la Plagne, it is a self-contained village set amongst the pine trees just below Plagne Centre. It has its own ski school, hire shops and choice of restaurants. Plagne 1800 now has good ski access: there is a bridge in Plagne Centre allowing skiers safe and uninterrupted access by piste over the main road.
