Ski at La Plagne - Paradiski

La Plagne:

One of the large skiing areas of the Alps : Elev. 3,750 to 10,200 feet; 230 km of runs, 95 lifts. Split between 10 different resort centers, the ski area is extremely varied. Steep slopes at the summits with breathtaking views on the peaks. Enjoyable rides through the heart of the forest. Runs in the sun, runs in the shade, there’s plenty for every taste and every level of difficulty.

Plagne Montalbert

Whereas La Plagne is one large integrated ski area, Plagne Montalbert is one of the 10 resort centers. A characteristic « Village Resort », it offers Shops and Services « with a smile ». Prices are without the excess that you might find in larger resorts, and its size is just right for a good choice of restaurants and shops, without being noisy and overcrowded. Fully integrated to La Plagne as far as skiing, the slopes around Plagne Montalbert, surrounded by the forest that protects them, are popular places to ski in bad weather. In good weather (most of the time!) skiers will take advantage of the vastness and height of the rest of La Plagne and Paradiski.

Paradiski

La Plagne and Les Arcs combined, connected by a double decker horizontal cable car flying over the Peisey Valley. 450km of runs, 200 lifts and an incredible choice of terrains and breathtaking sceneries. Skiing becomes a journey made of long, varied runs and and ski lifts. Departing Plagne Montalbert, skiing to Villaroger (the other side of Les Arcs) and back will take a good skier a full day, with little time to stop for lunch.
