Paradiski

La Plagne and Les Arcs had always looked at each other across the valley without being able to connect. In 2003, the Vanoise Express solved the problem: two 200-seat cabins that cross 1.8 km of empty space in four minutes, one of the largest cable cars in the world. Suddenly, 425 km of linked runs. The two resorts keep very different identities – La Plagne spread across ten villages from 1250 to 2,100 m, Les Arcs lined up on a balcony-like slope facing Mont Blanc. Peisey-Vallandry, at the foot of the cable car, is the discreet, wooded link between the two.
