School ski trips to La Plagne 1800
With its excellent snow record and combination of high mileage, varied slopes, there’s little wonder La Plagne is so popular among British school groups. Here, you and your students will be situated at the hub of the Paradiski ski circuit – one of Europe’s largest – which features two glaciers, two cable cars, and a thrilling vertical drop of two kilometres. It’s also incredible easy to travel between each of La Plagne’s villages, giving your group the impression they’ve truly seen it all – even if you never leave the resort!
Features
Just 50m from our accommodation is the ski school meeting point, nursery slopes and a choice of lifts providing direct access to either Plagne Centre or Aime La Plagne, or you can follow the forested runs down to Plagne Montalbert.
Belle Plagne also provides direct access to the Bellecote glacier, the highest point in resort at 3,250m, and Montchavin, the lowest at 1,250m. Intermediates and advanced skiers have an unrivalled choice of runs, above and below the tree-line, from long, gentle cruisers to steep and challenging blacks.
