La Plagne is made up of ten different areas, each is an independent village and well connected by the new cable car system. The whole area is known as Paradiski.
Plenty of differing runs from the learner to the higher expert slopes.2 snowboard parks will please the boarder and because the extent of the resort is large, the queues are not too bad.
There is plenty of sports action when you are not skiing including a bowling alley, sports centre and ice rink. Snoeshoeing, telemark, sleigh rides and skidoos. A plethora of shops, restaurants and nightlife mean that you don't have to leave the area. |
