Advantages: Central, Good Skiing, Good Atmosphere

Disadvantages: Popular with French at peak seasons

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.

La Plagne is situated close to the town of Albertville, famous for hosting the winter Olympics, and has a number of different resorts under it's collective name offering a manner of winter sports aimed at all levels.

Firstly you have Plagne Villages, the lowest of the resorts offering a comprehensive range of services, bars and restaurants etc.

Secondly, you have Plagne Bellcote catering to the more serious skiier, still with a range of bars and eatery's and nestling up against the piste's for quick access!!

Lastly you have Belle Plagne, a small yet quaint little village. This resort is fairly quiet in the evening but offers nice food and great access to the slopes.

The resorts are all conected e.g. there is a cable car service that runs between Belle and Bellecote, this runs until about 23:00 so that you can have few beers and then return without any hastle at all. You can also get between the Village resort on a bus that leaves Plagne Bellcote every 20 minutes. All travel is free between resorts provided you have a valid ski pass.

If your looking for a good weeks skiing with good apres ski and a really good atmosphere then head on over to La Plagne!!!
