La Plagne (Paradiski) Ski area

With the "Domaine La Plagne" lift pass, you can access 135 slopes with a total length of 225 km and 74 lifts at altitudes ranging from 1,207 to 3,080 m. All the major runs end at the four main peaks: Roche de Mio (2,700 m), La Grande Rochette (2,505 m), Les Verdons (2,500 m) and Le Biolley (2,350 m) in the wide semicircle of the La Plagne valley basin. This means you can easily reach any point in the ski area from any part of the resort!

Beginners will find gentle slopes at all resorts; the tree-free runs at Belle Plagne are particularly well-suited for those first turns. In the centre of La Plagne, the entrance to the ski area has been redesigned: a beginners’ area and a new green run have been created, and the Bécoin 4-seater chairlift has been replaced by a fast, detachable 6-seater chairlift. The snow parks, featuring a half-pipe, boardercross and various extras, round off the comprehensive range of facilities. La Plagne is even home to Europe’s longest fun slope!

The countless deep-snow areas promise absolute bliss for off-piste enthusiasts. On the Face Nord in particular – the northern flank of the Bellecôte Glacier – even experienced freeriders will find extremely challenging terrain that should only be tackled with a ski guide.

With the "Paradiski Illimité" lift pass upgrade (see Ski Region), you’ll have access to as many as 425 kilometres of slopes in Les Arcs and La Plagne every day – linked together by the modern Vanoise Express! What’s more, with a 6-day or longer "Paradiski Illimité" lift pass, you can enjoy numerous benefits, such as extra skiing in the afternoon on the day of arrival, one free entry to the ice cave at Village Igloo Arc 2000, and much more (see information on site).

Night skiing La Plagne (Paradiski)

The Paradiski ski region is also a true paradise when it comes to night skiing. Night skiing is centred in the piste area of Les Arcs. The popular night skiing takes place here regularly on a total of three night ski pistes at different altitudes: In Les Arcs 1600, the approximately 1 km long blue piste on the Combettes 3-seater chairlift is floodlit. There is also a floodlit piste in Les Arcs 1800 at a higher altitude. The 6-seater Marmottes chairlift takes you up to the approx. 1 km long blue piste. Both runs are of an easy level and can also be mastered by young and old under floodlights in the evening.

The new "Mille 8" in Les Arcs' Chantel district offers a night skiing highlight for boarders and freestylers: the "Les Bosses" boardercross fun area is illuminated with LED lights every week on Thursdays until 8.30 pm. The snow park can be reached via the Villard gondola. From La Plagne, the night skiing areas can be reached via the Vanoise Express.

Snowpark La Plagne (Paradiski): Snow park

La Plagne is home to a 2.5-hectare snow park with the longest fun slope in Europe! Alongside the snow park in Les Arcs, this fun park is the largest in the Paradiski Illimité ski resort region.

The park offers a halfpipe, a boardercross course and various lines with four different levels of difficulty. Various rails, kickers, boxes and butter boxes can be found on the blue, green, red and black lines, so that beginners as well as advanced riders can improve their skills while enjoying the view of one of the largest ski areas in Europe. Thanks to the large air bag in the park, brave riders can push their skills to a new level.

If you ever feel like leaving your board(s) behind, you can race down the professionally designed toboggan run in Colorado Park and have a different kind of battle with your friends.
