For any seasoned skiers, the Paradiski ski region, and in particular La Plagne Resort, are the places to be. La Plagne Resort has held particular acclaim ever since it was chosen as the site of some of the 1992 Winter Olympic sports, and the numbers speak more clearly as a testament to the resort than words ever could – 2 glaciers, 3 summits of over 3000m, 425km of slopes, snowparks, snowboarding, and the largest bobsleigh run in Europe…
Of course, what good is access to some of the best skiing facilities in the world, for both beginners and experts alike, if there is nowhere to rest your feet and warm your hands at the end of the day?
Once you are done on the slopes, ski right up to the doorstep of the impeccably-named Belle Plagne. Undoubtedly the most beautiful of the Paradiski ski area hotels, Belle Plagne combines alpine woodland charm with the modern conveniences and comforts that we all like to indulge in on holiday. The breathtaking views out over the snow are complemented by the rustic ambience of the interior, where exposed stone and pine wood are given a contemporary vibe.
As well as access to La Plagne’s slopes, Belle Plagne’s superb location in the centre of the resort means you are close to the village for any shopping or dining, in addition to the two restaurants onsite. If one ski resort isn’t enough, the Vanoise Express cable car can transport you to the neighbouring resort of Les Arcs for an even greater area to explore.
With the world-class ski runs so easily available, it’s hardly likely that you’ll spend much time indoors, but Belle Plagne is equipped for every eventuality; the hotel contains both a gym and games room for your enjoyment. Ending the day relaxing in the La Luge Bar is only topped by booking one of the outdoor Jacuzzis and watching the sun set over the mountains with a glass of wine in hand.
