About La Plagne
La Plagne is eleven villages stepped between 1,250 and 2,100 m, the bobsleigh track of the 1992 Olympic Games and, together with Les Arcs, the Paradiski area: 425 km of pistes linked by the Vanoise Express cable car. From Geneva Airport, allow 2 h 25 min to Plagne Centre.
Plagne Centre, Belle Plagne, Montchavin, Champagny: the villages are not all reached by the same road. Tell us which one is yours and your chauffeur will take the right way up.

-
Live 3000 and the Glaciers gondola
From the Roche de Mio, at 2,715 m, the Glaciers gondola climbs in ten minutes to 3,080 m, the top of La Plagne, facing the glaciers of the Vanoise: a terrace and the Le Sixième Ciel café, open to skiers and pedestrians alike. The Aérolive, two open-air cabins, costs extra.
-
The Olympic bobsleigh track
France's only bobsleigh track and the track of the 1992 Albertville Games: 1.5 km and 19 bends, below Plagne 1800. In the late afternoon, the public rides down in a self-steering bob-raft, from 1.30 m tall and at up to 80 km/h, or behind a pilot, from age 16. From mid-December to early April.
-
Les Bains de Belle Plagne
In the heart of Belle Plagne, a pedestrian village at 2,050 m, the Deep Nature spa devotes 1,500 m² to wellbeing: saunas, a hammam, a salt cave and, outside, two heated pools, hot tubs and Nordic baths facing the mountains. Open in winter and summer alike, with themed evenings.
-
The Vanoise Express
Since 2003, this cable car has linked Montchavin-Les Coches with Peisey-Vallandry, and so La Plagne with Les Arcs: two double-decker cabins holding 200 people each, a four-minute crossing 380 m above the ground. It runs all winter and, in summer, on a shorter schedule.
