With 11 different villages to choose from and all types of accommodation ranging from high-end hotels to basic apartments, a La Plagne ski holiday caters for all tastes and pockets. However, it’s important to note that each of the main resorts is quite different in terms of character and, crucially, nightlife/activities. La Plagne certainly couldn’t claim the same party atmosphere of close neighbours like Méribel and Val d’Isère and some of the stations can get very quiet at night – so it’s important you know where to stay. As a general rule, the valley resorts are quieter than the high-altitude stations.
