La Plagne

i read alot of moaning about la plagne in reviews on the net, and pretty much all of it is nonsense. its an excellent place to ski / board. its true there is not alot of nightlife, but there is if u want it. the only thing id change about the whole place is reducing the price of a beer, and thats about it. lovely snow, lovely views, lovely atmosphere, lovely sunshine, excellent lifts with hardly any ques, ever. if uve not been, and are thinkin of going, take it from me, and book ...  Read the complete review

I visited La Plagne, not this Christmas but the Christmas before, it was our first Christmas away from home, and i was a little aprehensive about wether it would detract from the Christmas season, but i was happily surprised. The La Plagne resort is one of the biggest resorts in France by way of lifts and skiiable terrain, and is looking to further expand its terrain by joining up with Les Arcs. It is fairly high up, which pretty much guarantees skiing practically all the season, even at Christmas when we visited. In January it is very cold, gets down to -25 C pretty much every night and would peak at around -5 during the day so if you have ...  Read the complete review

As an obsessed skier, I feel it only fair to share my experiences and travels with my new learn'ed colleagues. Having been in the privaliged position of living in France for a number of years, I was lucky enough to have graced the piste's of several of the major French ski resort's.

My partner and I skied at La Plagne for a week in April 1999. After attempting to fly to Lyon we were diverted to Grenoble due to fog so spent several hours sunbathing on the tarmac while we waited for transport to arrive. The transfer should only have been 2 hours but ended up being something like 4 as a result. This nearly did for us as we had massive hangovers due to spending Bank Holiday Friday in various Horley pubs, before departing from Gatwick. Although we were skiing the La Plagne area we stayed in the satellite village of Les Coches to the west of the ski area at 1400m. Our accommodation was a Crystal catered chalet that had the advantage of being ...  Read the complete review

My boyfriend and I stayed here in March of 2000 for 10 days. The reason we chose La Plagne was due to my boyfriend's friend being a rep for Thompsons out there. this meaning we only had to pay for flights. The accomodation is in a series of villages, all with their own shops and facilities, but non, however, fully self contained. This meant that it was necessary to travel from village to village in order fully utilise all the facilities. The ski lifts do run up to mid-night so that you are able to move from village to village easily. All you have to do is show your lift pass. The apres ski left much to be desired. Speaking as a 19 year old clubber, there ...  Read the complete review
