La Plagne best scenic spots: Skiing and snowboarding are only part of what makes a winter holiday special. The best ski trips are also about long views, lazy lunches and time spent soaking up the mountains. La Plagne is blessed with some of the most beautiful Alpine scenery in France, with viewpoints scattered right across the ski area near favourite cafés, restaurants and après ski spots.
Below you’ll find some of our favourite lookout points for photos, sunset views and proper “wow” moments on the hill. If you want more inspiration, have a look at the iRide / La Plagne 360 YouTube channel and our La Plagne month-by-month guides for seasonal highlights around the resort.

Quick tip: Even on marked pistes, accidents happen. In France, rescue and evacuation costs can be charged to you. Proper ski insurance covers lift evacuation, medical care and cancellation if something goes wrong.
