Depending on which satellite you’re staying in for your La Plagne holiday, chances are high that, at some point, you’ll end up taking one of the La Plagne shuttle buses to get around. All the high-altitude resorts are easily accessible using the resort’s comprehensive shuttle buses and lifts.

La Plagne shuttle buses and lifts

The La Plagne transit network comprises both shuttle buses and lifts to get around the main stations. The map below shows the network but, as a guide, there are three lift options:

Plagne Centre < > Aime 2000 via the Télémétro cable car (the Charmettes bus also runs but is much less frequent)

Plagne Centre < > Plagne Villages base (also possible to access Plagne Soleil with a short walk) via the Télébus lift. To get to Soleil, just walk over the Écartée piste. Note, if you’re staying in the higher parts of Plagne Villages, you would be far better taking the bus – it’s quite a hike to the top.

Plagne Bellecôte < > Belle Plagne via the Télécabine gondola

La Plagne in-resort bus timetables

The high-altitude bus network makes it easy to get around the main La Plagne stations. The villages in La Plagne all have their own personality and advantages, depending on what type of holiday you’re looking for. As a general rule, the higher satellites tend to offer the best La Plagne nightlife (except Plagne Villages and Plagne Soleil). Click the download links to save to your mobile.

Getting around La Plagne

Whether it be taking the bus to explore the other high-Alpine villages or just to get home from a day or night out, the La Plagne bus and lift network provides regular access between all the villages. As noted in the timetables, shuttle run from early morning until around midnight

Missing these connections will either mean a lengthy walk (not recommended) or a costly taxi ride. In some cases, you might get lucky with some of La Plagne’s later pubs and clubs which often offer free lifts home at the end of your night.

Note – these in-resort buses do not cover the lower valley villages of Montchavin, Montalbert and Champagny-en-Vanoise which are more isolated and will need a taxi to visit other satellites. Alternatively, you could also take the La Plagne valley bus services to Aime and then a further bus up to the higher resorts – but times are very limited.
