La Plagne has something to offer to everyone!

A number of green and easy blue slopes which are perfect for beginners.
A heaven for intermediates with over 100 blue and red runs. Recognised as one of the best intermediate resorts in the world.
Advanced skiers and snowboarders will be able to test themselves on a number of black runs and some of the best off-piste around.

This diversity makes la Plagne a great choice for groups of mixed abilities as everyone from the complete beginner through to the expert will find terrain to suit their ability.

Endless off-piste ranging from long forest runs in the village resorts of Montalbert, Montchavin and Les Coches, to the near vertical drop of the North Face of the Bellecôte glacier (guide recommended), as well as mind blowing couloirs and miles upon miles of wonderful powder. The off-piste in La Plagne could keep you busy for years, let alone a week's holiday.
