Belle Plagne is one of the prettiest villages in La Plagne with its chalet-style buildings, pedestrianised centre and welcoming atmosphere. The skiing is ideal for families and beginners with wide blues linking to Bellecôte and beyond, while more confident skiers can quickly reach the full La Plagne and Les Arcs ski areas. With shops, restaurants, bars and even a bowling alley, it’s a great mix of quiet charm and convenience.
Belle Plagne
Traditional charm at 2,050m with family friendly skiing and easy access to the wider area
At 2,050m, Belle Plagne is one of the most attractive villages in La Plagne with its chalet-style buildings of wood, stone and slate giving it a traditional alpine feel. The centre is pedestrianised which makes it especially appealing for families and those who like a quieter base. You’ll find a good mix of shops, ski hire outlets, restaurants and bars plus a bowling alley for when you fancy a change from the slopes.
The skiing here is ideal if you’re travelling with children or want easy cruising, with wide blue runs linking you to the snow garden, beginner area, snow park and down to Bellecôte where you can access the rest of the resort. Both ESF and Oxygène ski schools have bases here, keeping lessons simple to organise. For more experienced skiers, the lifts quickly connect you with the full La Plagne area and on to Les Arcs via the Vanoise Express.
Belle Plagne has the best of both worlds – it’s quiet and family friendly yet still has plenty of places to eat, drink and unwind. With its beautiful setting, snow-sure location and welcoming atmosphere, it’s a brilliant choice whether you’re here for the scenery, the skiing or both.
