Ambience
Unlike the ugly apartment blocks that dominate many of the ski
resorts in the French Alps,
Plagne Montalbert is delightfully unspoilt; a daily treat from
glistening dawn to glowing sunset over the pine forests. It remains
a traditional, friendly, village surrounded by stunning scenery:
the Tarentaise valley to one side, Mont Blanc and surrounding
mountains to the other.
Christmas and New Year in Montalbert is a wonderful time with
torch light skiing, firework displays and parties. On Christmas Eve
they have a great street festival with Father Christmas being drawn
on a sleigh surrounded by all the ski instructors with flaming
torches and the old church in the centre of the village has a real
nativity scene which last year even featured a real baby, donkey
and other animals!
Our range of
Montalbert chalets put you within easy reach of the amenities
the ski resort has to offer and with ten restaurants in the village
you'll never be short of things to do. The restaurants
include:
Le Trappeurs: Trappeurs is a great bar and
restaurant that serves specialities from the local area such as
Tartiflette together with steaks and other dishes.
La Luge which serves great pizzas.
Le Forperet which is a mountain restaurant open in the
evening and offers a free mini bus service. If you wish to book

La Tourmante is a very lively pub /restaurant
which often has live music, shows football on its large screen TV
downstairs when the big matches are on and serves a variety of
great value food in the upstairs restaurant.
Le Fifties Legend serves great steaks, burgers
and pizzas.
Skanapia which is a busy restaurant right at
the base of the slopes and serves local food and offers a great
Plat Du Jour.
The local tourist office organises plenty of free village
activities such as mulled wine evenings and there is
a nightclub that is open until very late.
For those requiring Internet WIFI is available free in a number
of bars and also the tourist office.
