*The cable car is out of action this season!!
Lying just to the north east of the Three Valleys, la Plagne
consists of ten different interlinked villages all purpose built. Because
of the high altitude the snow record is excellent, and the skiing is
exceptional across the board from the nursery slopes to the Bellecote
Glacier and the testing run down to les Arcs. The off piste skiing is
especially good.
*The cable car from the northernmost village of
Montchavin across to Peisy Vallandry now joins two more French ski areas
together to form the vast Paradiski circus. There are plenty of good
restaurants in la Plagne and ten night clubs to satisfy everyone!
There are several satellites lying below the centre including the
small but popular village of Montalbert, which still retains the charm of
a Savoyarde farming community, and virtually guarantees snow till the end
of the season with extensive snow cannon coverage.
From the back of la Plagne there is lift access down to Champagny in the
Bozel Valley, and Courchevel. Champagny is another old Savoyarde village
with an atractive church, and an ideal place to stay as it is cheaper and
quieter than la Plagne and in a lovely sunny position.
The piste down to Champagny is usually skiable from January to mid
March but at the end of a hard day's skiing a 7 minute ride in the bubble
is usually more welcome!
The French Railways ski train from Waterloo (UK) runs Friday nights to
Aime arriving around 0800 on the Saturday morning, leaving a 30 minute
drive to la Plagne. With the return train leaving on Saturday evenings
this gives a full seven days skiing for one week skiers.
