La Plagne

Always a favourite and the link to Les Arcs via the new cable car really opens up this area. If you’ve never been to La Plagne, or it’s been a while since you came here, now is the time to visit and enjoy mile after mile of great piste. We offer hotel and self catering accommodation, but for a social atmosphere and a great location the Neilson chalets would be the ideal choice.

Beginners

The ski school meets at the nursery slopes adjacent to our apartments. The school has an excellent reputation. Beginners are recommended to book our ‘Skiers Package’ to make things both easier and cheaper.

Intermediates

This is a great resort for blue run skiers as they pretty much cover the whole resort. There are lots of red runs and accessible off-piste to discover. The Paradiski lift pass entitles you to ski for one day at Tignes/Val d’Isère or The 3 Valleys.

Advanced

La Plagne’s off-piste skiing is superb and doesn’t get as quickly skied out as other resorts. The glacier offers some of the best routes and hiring a guide would ensure an exciting and safe day. There are also plenty of red bump runs to challenge even advanced skiers. The Paradiski lift pass also covers a days skiing or boarding in Tignes/Val d’Isère or The 3 Valleys.

Snowboarding

The La Plagne area is extensive and offers a wide variety of terrain to suit everybody’s taste. The off-piste seems almost endless and there are plenty of blue runs serviced by chairlifts for the novice. There are three terrain parks providing a half-pipe and a variety of other jumps, table tops and hip jumps.

Teenager Zone

La Plagne has a boarder cross zone, a half-pipe, 2 freestyle zones & a snowpark open to all abilities from beginner to pro. A 'Freestyle pass' should be purchased to access these, details and photos are available at www.7cube.fr.
