On the slopes
La Plagne offers a banquet of 225 km of pistes, including numerous long and winding trails leading back to the beginners’ slopes, which can be found in each of the main villages. If you’re just starting out, you can count on some superb ski schools and gentle nursery slopes to ease any initial fears as your students grow in confidence. In total, there are approximately 80 km of easy runs and just over 30 km for the intermediates.
Advanced members of your group will find themselves well catered for too, with some of the black runs speeding away from the Glacier de Bellecôte offering some challenging slopes. With top-class snowparks and boardercross trails in and around Bellecôte, Montchavin and Champagny en Vanoise, it’s easy to see why La Plagne is perfect for mixed-ability groups.
