Des Cimes II and its sister chalet, Des Cimes I are perfectly located apartment-style chalets. They sit right on the slopes of Belle Plagne for incredibly easy access to the huge Paradise ski area and some amazing mountain views too.

If you're a couple of families or a small group of friends, you'll love this little home-from-home. It sleeps eight people in four bedrooms and the lounge comfortably seats everyone, but you'll be fighting for the best spot next to the fireplace!
Being on the third floor of an apartment-style chalet complex, you'll have access to the shared wellness facility a couple of times per week. Unwind in the sauna and hot tub or just take it easy in the relaxation area to really unwind. There's a small charge for using the facilities, but this can be paid for locally.
When we say 'on the slopes', we actually mean it. The chalet sits on the Roche De Mio blue run, and to get to the resort centre, it's an easy five minute walk thanks to the covered walkways in Belle Plagne. The equipment hire shop and a good selection of shops and bars are all close by too, so you're guaranteed a convenient stay.

La Plagne forms one half of the 425km playground which is the Paradiski area. It really is one of the best ski areas in the world, regularly playing host to speed skiing, freeriding, freestyle and world cup events.
The terrain is varied, high and seemingly endless. The La Plagne half of the area is over 200km in itself so unless you're a hardcore mile-muncher, the local lift pass is enough. That ...
The terrain is varied, high and seemingly endless. The La Plagne half of the area is over 200km in itself so unless you're a hardcore mile-muncher, the local lift pass is enough. That said, it's definitely worth a trip over to Les Arcs at least once during your stay just for the cable car ride; the double-decker Vallandry Express is not to be missed!
La Plagne is made up of 10 separate villages, all at varying heights and all with a slightly different style. Being a purpose built resort, it may not be the prettiest, but it's well thought out and mostly traffic-free.
The Des Cimes is based in Belle Plagne up at 2050m where there's a nice choice of bars and restaurants and a few small supermarkets and touristy shops with the usual fare on offer. Belle Plagne is also linked to the larger and more lively Plagne Bellecôte by a cable car. This runs up until midnight giving you more options for evening entertainment.
