La Plagne Skiing and Ski Paradiski
The Vanoise Express is a spectacular double-decker cable car, linking La Plagne and Les Arcs. The result is Paradiski, one of the world’s biggest skiing areas.
The numbers are boggling: all told, there are no less than 242
pistes, 425km, 35 black, 66 red, 129 blue and 12 green, plus 4
snowparks and one halfpipe. They are serviced by 134 lifts, with
lower slopes at 1200 metres yielding to the glaciers at 3250
metres; so skiing is assured throughout the season. Quite simply,
there's no excuse to be bored on a Mountain Heaven holiday.
For snowboarders La Plagne is also well-served, with a permanent
half pipe in Plagne Bellecote, a snow park in Belle-Plagne and a
snowboarding area with sound system in Montchavin/Les Coches and
Champagny en Vanoise. For cross country skiers, Plagne Montalbert
offers 90km of marked trails including tremendous scenic forest
trails and access to several high level routes.

Ski Hosting
Due to the size of the area we are happy on two days per week to
offer ski hosting. Please note that ski hosting is only for
intermediate skiers and above and it is not a lesson. Ski hosting
is simply showing you some of the area and our ski hosts are unable
to offer any advice whatsoever on your technique. Ski hosting is
not pre-bookable as it is weather dependant. In addition ski
hosting is only offered to those guests who purchased a lift pass
through us and where applicable if guests don't have their own skis
have purchased ski equipment hire though us.
Mountain Restaurants
There are many fantastic restaurants on the mountains ranging
from Le Forperet by Montalbert (great for lunch or a late afternoon
drink to watch the sun going down) to our favourite Chalet Verdon
Sud +33 (0)6 21 54 39 24 on the Champagny side and onto Chez Pat du
Sauget near Les Coches.
Another great restaurant that you must visit is Plein Soleil
which is towards Les Coches/Monchavin and their website is at www.lepleinsoleil.com +33 (0)6 73 72 87

We do recommend that you book for your lunch as these are very
popular restaurants!
