Skiing & snowboarding
La Plagne forms one half of the Paradiski ski area, offering 425km of interconnected pistes shared with Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry. The area caters brilliantly to all abilities, from wide beginner slopes to challenging high-altitude terrain and off-piste routes.

Beginners and intermediates will find plenty of confidence-building blues and reds around Plagne Centre, Plagne Villages and Plagne Soleil, while more experienced skiers can head towards Belle Plagne and Bellecôte for steeper reds, blacks and glacier skiing. 

Snowboarders are well catered for too, with boardercross tracks, snow parks and playful terrain spread across the area. 

Snow parks & fun zones
Freestyle skiers and boarders can warm up in the mini half-pipe near Plagne Bellecôte before heading to Riders Nations, the main snow park near Montchavin–Les Coches. Families will love Buffalo Park and the Funslope at Arpette, a 1.6km interactive run designed for all ages.

Off-piste & adventure skiing
With peaks reaching 3,250m, La Plagne is a playground for off-piste enthusiasts. Advanced skiers can explore the famous north face of the Bellecôte Glacier, while those seeking something more relaxed will enjoy tree skiing around Montchavin and Les Coches, or the open bowls near Champagny.

For safety, off-piste skiing should always be undertaken with a qualified guide.
