Belle Plagne is one of La Plagne’s highest villages, at 2050m. Ideally situated in the Savoie region of the French Alps and facing the majestic Mont Blanc in the Tarentaise valley, the area is renowned for its fantastic climate where snow coverage and sunshine are abundant. Built in a traditional Savoyard style architecture, you will find everything you need on site - shops, restaurants, bars, lift pass office and ski school. There is also a wellness centre, a swimming pool (summer only) and a bowling alley. Furthermore, in nearby Bellecôte (5 min gondola ride, open until midnight) there is an ice rink amongst other attractions. Belle Plagne has a lot of character, and is one of the world’s top ski destinations. As it is set at such a high altitude, it is ski-in ski-out and pistes are for the most part snow-sure. Belle Plagne is also home to the ‘Big Air Bag’, a giant-sized cushion for skiers and boarders to practice their jumps without any risk. For families, Belle-Plagne is known to have an excellent nursery facility so that your children can be looked after if they are too young to ski. After skiing, you can enjoy an evening out in the Saloon nightclub or one of the popular bars such as the Tête Inn or the Maitre Kanter.
