GREAT LA PLAGNE PISTES BY RATING

A run is only as good as your ability to ride it

Below you’ll find our favourite runs across all sectors of La Plagne, grouped by ability. You can also dive deeper with our guides to La Plagne for beginners, La Plagne for intermediates and La Plagne for experts, see when it’s best to ski La Plagne, or check our YouTube channel for piste videos.

SKI INSURANCE

Ride within your limits but be covered

Mountain rescue and medical costs in France aren’t cheap.

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.

If you haven’t arranged cover yet, it’s worth sorting before your trip.
