UCPA Holiday Centre, Plagne Centre
Fully inclusive activity holidays in one of UCPA's most luxurious slopeside centres.
Not your regular hostel, this holiday centre is run by UCPA who offer affordable, all-inclusive activity holidays in La Plagne. Ideally located right on the piste in Plagne Centre, it's just a few steps to the main lift departure points and a short walk from all the amenities of the resort.
This centre was recently renovated and now boasts the highest comfort rating of all UCPA's holiday centres. With a good mix of twin and quad rooms available, all are bright modern and with their own ensuite facilities.
Rooms are sold on a multi-share basis and each sleeps up to 4 people, but if you prefer to have a bit more privacy, then you can reserve one of their ensuite twin rooms for a small supplement. However, these rooms are very popular and tend to get booked first. Sleeping up to 240 people in total, this is a great accommodation choice for a large group of friends or a sports club looking to keep costs reasonable.
The UCPA staff lay on a low key entertainment programme each week for the enjoyment of guests and there is also a great resident's bar, games room and even a small nightclub! The centre is right on the piste with a fantastic sun deck right at the heart of La Plagne Centre and the dining room has vast panoramic windows and stunning views across the Paradiski area. The resort centre itself is only a 100m walk away where there is a great selection of bars & nightclubs to suit all tastes. However, when you can even rent and service your skis/boards on site, you'll just have no reason to leave the premises except to ski!
Watch this
The Bar
The centre has a lively resident's bar for a spot of apres ski or a social drink in the evenings, as well as its own small nightclub if you're not too fussed about getting first lifts the next day!
The Restaurant
A buffet-style breakfast is served each morning, comprising yoghurts, cereals, fruit juice, coffee and fresh bread and then you can prep yourself a picnic style lunch from a great selection of breads, meats, cheeses, pasta, salad, fruit, sweets etc. Taking a picnic lunch with you means maximising your time on the slopes whilst minimising damage to your wallet. However, should the weather not be conducive to picnicking, you can also return to the centre for a hot lunch.
The 4-course dinner is also served buffet style with a varied and colourful salad bar, a choice of 3 or 4 main courses, a selection of cheeses and a tempting array of desserts, fruit and ice-cream for afters. Specific dietary requirements should be made known to reception staff at check-in but generally, vegetarians will find sufficient choice within the buffet.
