ℹ️ These figures refer to the Domaine de La Plagne, a ski area shared by several resorts: kilometres of runs, number of runs, lifts and lift pass are common to all of them. The values shown here and on the pages of neighbouring resorts therefore refer to the same ski area and the same lift pass: they are not added together.
La Plagne is one of the most visited ski areas in the world, spread across 10 villages between 1,250 and 2,100 m. With Les Arcs, it forms Paradiski (425 km). It hosted the Olympic bobsleigh track at the 1992 Games, which is still open to the public. Very family-friendly, it offers a wide variety of runs and activities.

Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
The La Plagne domain, with its 225 km of runs, offers something for every type of skier: large enough not to go round in circles for a whole week, yet compact enough to find your favourite sectors easily. Its 69 lifts make it easy to chain together descents without long queues. La Plagne's reputation as a family resort is well earned: dedicated beginner areas, a well-run childcare service, well-groomed green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It is one of the most reassuring resorts in the Northern Alps for laying the foundations of skiing with children. As for snow, La Plagne is in a strong position with its highest point at 3,250 m — even in capricious winters, the upper runs hold up well until April. The village at 1,970 m is also well located to offer comfortable conditions from mid-December onwards. A stay at La Plagne is clearly on the expensive side: €72 for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It is the price of excellence — but it's worth being aware of it before you go. In short: La Plagne lives up to its promises. A Northern Alps resort that will suit the majority of skiers without disappointing.
🏔️ 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.
