Everything you need to know for first-time skiers in La Plagne.
Is La Plagne snow-sure?
La Plagne sits at a high altitude of 2,150m and is a snow-sure ski resort. The huge network of slopes with access to the Paradiski area is well maintained by the resort staff and if necessary snow is made artificially.
How do you get to La Plagne?
Fly + Airport Transfers
If you’re arriving by air then you’ll probably fly into either Grenoble, Lyon or Geneva.
There are buses from the airport but you will need to change at Moutiers and they’re not cheap so if there is a few of you it often cheaper to share a transfer.
The train is the cheapest option from the airports but again this will involve several changes and the trains are somewhat infrequent.
Drive
It’s about a 9hr drive once in France to reach La Plagne. The benefits of driving are no luggage restrictions and the option of an extra day skiing during a week’s holiday but the tolls can be quite pricey on the motorways so something to consider.
Train
The Eurostar offers overnight trains direct from London St Pancras to Moutiers (about 30mins from La Plagne, at the foot of the mountain). If you don’t mind overnight travel, and can sleep on trains (or are willing to forego sleep) then this can be one of the cheapest and most convenient ways to reach the Alps. Plus, no extra charge for ski carriage. You just need to be able to carry all you can bring…..
Is La Plagne expensive?
La Plagne isn’t an expensive ski resort, compared to many high-end resorts like Courchevel or Verbier. But you can still expect to pay high prices in restaurants on the mountain. La Plagne is suitable for families and all budgets, with a little forward planning.
If you’d like to visit La Plagne on a budget, opt for a self-catering apartment and make a picnic to eat on the mountain at lunchtime to cut costs on the mountain.
