Belle Plagne & Bellecôte
Bellecôte villages
Belle Plagne & Plagne Bellecôte: Together, Belle Plagne and Plagne Bellecôte form one of the largest accommodation hubs in La Plagne, with loads of apartments, bars, restaurants and easy access to the slopes. The Belle Plagne gondola normally runs until late in the evening, so it’s simple to move between the two.
Belle Plagne has the edge when it comes to atmosphere, with more places to eat and drink plus genuine ski-in-ski-out convenience in most of the village. Plagne Bellecôte, meanwhile, offers great value, an outdoor swimming pool and direct access to the Roche de Mio gondola for fast uplift to the higher reaches – plus to the Montchavin sector and the Vanoise Express link to Les Arcs.

Belle Plagne and Bellecôte are all about easy access, big uplift and the right gear
Quick tip: Staying here means you can get on snow quickly and make the most of a lot of terrain, so it really pays to get comfortable, confidence-building gear from the start. Whether you are cruising straight out of Belle Plagne or using Bellecôte as a launch point for Roche de Mio, Montchavin and the wider area, decent hire kit will make the whole trip feel smoother.
Booking online before you arrive usually means better prices, better choice and much less faff on day one.

Busy accommodation hubs and big linked ski areas can still go wrong fast
Quick tip: Belle Plagne and Bellecôte make it very easy to get a full day on snow because the uplift is so convenient and the links are so good. That is great for a ski holiday, but it also means proper insurance is worth sorting before you travel.
Good cover can help with mountain rescue, medical costs and the wider disruption if a fall or collision cuts your trip short.
