La Plagne
Ski holidays in La Plagne, will give you access to an extensive ski area teamed with brilliant, high altitude skiing on uncrowded pistes.
La Plagne boasts nearly 225 km of pistes. It is an integral part of Paradiski, one of the biggest ski areas in the world, with 425 km of interconnected pistes. With 70% of the ski area above 2,000 metres altitude, it has a great snow record. There are great nursery slopes for beginners but also plenty of blue and red slopes to keep the more intermediate skiers and snowboarders happy. La Plagne offers a variety of après ski opportunities with a mix of late bars and restaurants and each village in la Plagne hosts its own ski school, restaurants, bars and shops.
La Plagne gets our vote for families, not only because of its gentle wide open slopes and well-placed nursery slopes but because of the fun non-ski activities that it offers. Families will enjoy the fun pistes of Funslope, Buffalo Park, Buffalo kids, Timed Slalom, Equaliser & Goblin Forest.
La Plagne sounds like one resort but actually consists of ten centres, including the areas in which we have our accommodation - Plagne 1800, Plagne Soleil (2,050m) and Belle Plagne (2,050m). Six of the centres are high altitude purpose-built stations and four are traditional villages.
Purpose-built and functional, Plagne Centre caters primarily for families although couples or groups will find fun in Scottys, La Luna, Igloo and La Cheminee bars. For lunch on the mountain, Le Chalet Des Verdons Sud is a must.
La Plagne is also something of a gem for freeride fans – because the majority of skiers are intermediates, fresh powder doesn’t get tracked out as quickly as it would in big name off-piste resorts. Freestyle Zones include Champagny boarder cross, Montchavin boarder cross, Bellecote Halfpipe, Snowpark & Air Bag.
Another massive attraction in La Plagne is its bobsleigh track. Those who don’t know what fear is can ride the high-speed bobsleigh with a professional driver or take a solo Luge ride; the rest of the family can have fun in the Bob Cart, which carries four passengers, travels at speeds of up to 85kph and provides videos to prove you’ve actually done it. Visitors to La Plagne can also enjoy the Colorado Luge.
If you’re planning on holidaying with friends in La Plagne but are booking separately, it’s worth having a discussion beforehand to ensure that you all end up in the same resort centre!

Louise Bathersby
Hello and welcome to France! My name is Louise or ‘Lou’. I'm from Australia, which you'll probably tell from my accent, although some people say l have an Irish head on me! We don’t have any big mountains in Australia and not a lot of snow so I am lucky enough to come and work in the European Alps for the Winter. This will be my 5th ski season for Topflight & DirectSki, working in both Austria and France. I look forward to welcoming you and I’m here to answer all of your questions and help you to enjoy every bit of your holiday.
Malcolm Stocks
Hello, I'm Malcolm. This winter will be my 6th winter season in the French Alps for Topflight. I originally hail from the west coast of Scotland, but France has become my home for the winters. I love anything and everything outdoorsy, but especially cycling and skiing! There's nothing quite like sharing a fondue and a few drinks after a bluebird powder day! Myself and the team are looking forward to welcoming you to the French Alps this winter. We are here to ensure you have a fantastic time both on and off the slopes. Whether you are looking for some local info on the best spots for a hot chocolate, fondue, or a well earned beer or vin chaud at the end of the day. We'll be on hand to deal with any queries or questions you may have during your stay.
Gabrielle O'Rourke
Hi, I'm Gabrielle. I'm very excited to be working another winter season and look forward to welcoming you to the French Alps. I love being active and having access to nature and the outdoors. In my free time at home in Dublin, you'll probably find me on a yoga mat, the tennis court or a hiking trail somewhere. I am passionate about skiing and the mountains, working or enjoying the mountain life in resorts in the Austrian and French alps, as well as the Pyrenees and Nepalese Himalayas over the years. My background in the events industry means I am accustomed to delivering a high level of customer service and look forward to assisting with any and all queries to ensure you have a fantastic holiday both on and off the slopes.
