La Plagne is a collection of small ski resorts and medieval villages on the outskirts of the Vanoise National Park. It’s a family-friendly resort with several beginner and intermediate slopes to choose from. The Vanoise Express cable car connects La Plagne with Les Arcs.

The purpose-built resorts are located at elevations ranging from 1800 to 2100 meters. They all have a decent selection of apartments, hotels, chalets, restaurants, and nightlife.

The free shuttle buses and extensive network of ski lifts make getting around a breeze. Some of these connections are open late to enable guests to get to nearby restaurants, stores, and pubs. A vast network of linked resorts and towns makes it a year-round playground for outdoor enthusiasts.
