Day 1: A timeless bubble

A morning on the slopes

A weekend away from it all at La Plagne starts with a morning on the slopes. Depending on your mood, you can choose between gondolas, blue runs, chairlifts, red runs and themed runs. Take the Equalizer tunnel for a colourful musical interlude, the Funslope run to try your hand at jumps, tunnels and top speeds, or the Buffalo Park for a Colorado-style descent.

For beginners and perfectionists alike, individual lessons of around two hours are offered by schools such as ESF and Oxygène. This is the perfect opportunity to learn how to execute the famous planté de bâton to perfection!

Lunch on the slopes

On the heights of Plagne Villages, leave your skis at the foot of La Bergerie restaurant and enjoy a warm, sunny meal. Savoyard specialities, meats or salads at very reasonable prices, in a priceless setting! The sunny terrace turns into an open-air dance floor from mid-afternoon. If you're not too keen on the cold, you can take advantage of the wooded interior of the chalet by the large central fireplace.

After-ski music

Le Bonnet, in Plagne Bellecôte, is THE place to have fun after skiing! Singing, dancing, drinking and eating are all on the programme, with DJs on hand 7 days a week. It's the ideal place to switch from activities in the sunshine to the nightlife of this lively resort.

Mountain fast food, hamburgers, hot dogs, paninis, bagels and sandwiches are all on the menu at this festive venue. Visitors who prefer a sweet break can indulge in crêpes and waffles, between two sets of DJ music.

A starry night

For couples, this mountain weekend at La Plagne is sure to add something unusual to an already extraordinary schedule. Set off in a converted snow groomer for an intimate night's sleep at an altitude of 2,400 metres. The Over the Moon experience is offered to just two privileged guests each evening, for a night in a cosy bed, in front of a film or in the bathroom's whirlpool bath. Let yourself be guided by your desires; "what happens at 2,000 metres, stays at 2,000 metres"!

Day 2: A thousand and one activities

Leaving your mark

After a short night's sleep, it's time to wake up early and make the very first ski tracks of the day. Just after the groomers have passed, at sunrise, the First Tracks experience offers a panoramic view of the resort's mountains. An unforgettable ski outing, with a small group and a comforting breakfast as a reward.

Enjoy the pleasures of the snow in a different way, on a snowshoe outing. The many trails in the area take hikers through wooded areas, breathtaking panoramas, incongruous discoveries and expanses as far as the eye can see.

Just below Plagne 1800, the Le Loup Blanc restaurant offers a variety of dishes to suit all tastes. Traditional Savoyard dishes such as reblochonnade and fondue are on the menu, along with classic beef carpaccio, pizza and ribs. In the sunshine on the large terrace with its breathtaking views over the estate, the team's friendly welcome promises a relaxing moment.

Toboggan fans will find their paradise on the Colorado Luge run! 1,500 metres of fun downhill, on a sledge or Snooc, on a track with a Far West flavour. After a couple of turns to get the hang of it, it's time for some thrills!

As an added bonus, you'll get a free digital souvenir photo to immortalise your descent. At the Colorado chairlift, this attraction is popular with all ages. 310 metres of vertical drop - more physical than it looks!
