Ski Slopes
We have produced our own unique (brief) guide to every run in the La Plagne ski area, split by sector:
Plagne Centre – Aime la Plagne – Plagne 1800
Plagne Centre – Plagne 1800 – Plagne Soleil – Plagne Villages
Plagne Bellecote – Belle Plagne
Some of the ski runs may of course have changed a little since we last skied them, particularly where the resort has invested money and improved the slopes. In summer 2009 significant improvements have been made with the new chairlift out of Plagne 1800, the new Bergerie chairlift and related work.
have you thought of selling laminated pocket sized copies of these runs as would be really useful for using whilst on slopes.
Hi Gary,
We have brought forward the publishing of our guide to the ski slopes of La Plagne: you should now be able to check out every run.
For the beginners, Ramy is a favourite although it may change a bit with the work associated with the new Plagne 1800 and Bergerie lifts. Generally, beginners are happiest with what they know and have been on with their instructors – hopefully they should also pick out the best conditions. For you, it really depends on the time of year and the conditions: try Java, Mercedes, Grand Rochette or over into the Champagny sector coming back on the Verdons Sud chair.
Hope that gives you something to start off with, have a great holiday.
PS We are trying to get a deal going with SkiLove for ski hire in Plagne 1800: discount for pre-booking!
Can you forward any routes or slopes which are good for beginners. This year my wife and kids are going for the first time and to get them off to the best start it would be good to find the best ski slopes for them being beginners. We are situated in Plagne 1800.
Added onto this question, once they have progressed with their lessons both at home and in Plagne, which slopes would be best for them to have a go at such as an easy blue with loads of room for them to get their turns in.
Then finally, while they are in lessons, where are the best slopes local to the nursery slope where I can get some good runs in – I am an Intermediate of many years who doesn’t fear reds but likes to do the odd black.
