I went to La Plagne with the Ski Club of Great Britain on one of their tuition weeks. We stayed at the Hotel Eldorador in Belle Plagne. The whole week was very enjoyable and some of the tuition was excellent. While we were there we had a lot of fresh snow and it took them two or three days to open up the whole of the resort. As a result of only a few runs being open some of the lift queues were long and the pistes crowded. Once the whole resort was open by the end of the week to the runs returned to the usual off peak quietness. For the non skier, as with most purpose built resorts activities are limited.

The resort is made up of six purpose built villages and four village resorts. Some of the purpose built resorts are so small they only comprise of a hotel and a few small shops. While in La Plagne you can enjoy the thrill of the Olympic bob sleigh run, which is open to the public a few days a week.

The La Plagne lift pass also allows you to ski in Les Arcs to which La Plagne is now lift linked, the 3 Vallees and Espace Killy (Val d'Isere and Tignes). Most of the skiing in La Plagne is marked as blue (72) or red (34), making it ideal for intermediate skiers. The vast majority of runs are above the tree line between 1800 and 3000 meters. A few tree lined runs exits towards the villages of Plagne Montalbert, Montchavin and Champagny.
