La Plagne 360
La Roche
La Roche guide
The village of La Roche sits in a valley below Plagne 1800 on the main road to La Plagne, near the 1992 Albertville Olympic bobsleigh track. As development space runs out higher up the hill, La Plagne is now expanding downwards. You’ll find (mostly) chalet-type lodging here and around Plangagnant and Les Charmettes, both linked to Plagne Centre by free bus. For riding, the Roche chairlift is one of La Plagne’s fastest lifts and takes you direct to Aime 2000. From there, you can access all the other main resorts. Visit the iRide / LaPlagne360 YouTube channel for more info.
La Roche rated
If you’re happy with a quieter ski or snowboard holiday without the facilities of a busy resort, then a ski holiday in La Roche might be for you. These small villages are close to the bobsleigh track but, other than that, there’s little here. Sure, there’s a bus service up to Plagne Centre but it doesn’t run late which means, if you want to enjoy any kind of normal apres ski, you’ll need a car. In daytime, the Edmond Blanchoz (formerly Cornegidouille) blue or Emile Allais / André Martzolf red pistes will get you back home.
A winter holiday in the La Roche villages will likely be quite different from what you’re used to – but that could be a good thing if you want something quieter.
