La Plagne offers around 225km of pistes spread across a huge mountain area, stretching from the lower villages at 1,250m right up to the higher, snow-sure terrain above 3,000m. The piste map below gives you a great overview of the ski area so you can start planning your routes before you arrive.

Most skiers and snowboarders would agree that La Plagne is a wonderfully mellow resort, well-suited to early intermediates right through to confident advanced riders. The pistes are generally wide and confidence-building, making it a brilliant place to progress.

That doesn’t mean there’s no challenge here. Beyond the uplift lies some serious La Plagne off-piste terrain, including the legendary Bellecôte North Face, plus the steep descents and deep snow riding over in the Champagny sector.

La Plagne is an ideal resort for intermediate skiers and snowboarders, with the majority of pistes graded blue and red. These are perfect for building technique and confidence without ever feeling too extreme.

Together, La Plagne and Les Arcs form the vast Paradiski area — one of the largest linked ski domains in the world with around 425km of pistes. The two resorts are connected by the spectacular double-deck Vanoise Express cable car, making it easy to ski both mountains in the same day.

Whether you’re a beginner finding your feet or a seasoned expert chasing powder, there’s always somewhere new to explore. If you enjoy covering miles on snow, it’s well worth considering a full Paradiski lift pass to explore the full area. Take a look at the Paradiski piste map to get a better idea.
