Plagne 1800 is one of the most charming spots in La Plagne with its cluster of wooden chalets and friendly atmosphere. Families love the small beginner area and easy access to ski school, while lifts connect you quickly to Plagne Centre and beyond. With a mix of affordable chalets, apartments and hotels plus a few lively bars, it offers a welcoming base with everything close at hand.

Plagne 1800 is one of the prettiest villages in La Plagne, with traditional wooden chalets tucked into the bends of the mountain road. It has a friendly, laid-back feel with a good choice of affordable accommodation from self-catered apartments and chalets to family-run hotels. 

The village is popular with families thanks to its small beginner area where lessons take place, while the Mélèzes and 1800 chairlifts link you easily to Plagne Centre and Aime 2000. Runs back into the village are a mix of wide blues and slightly steeper reds, with plenty of options to suit different levels. Nightlife here is relaxed but sociable, and with everything you need close at hand it makes a welcoming base without losing its charm.

Nightlife in Plagne 1800

Atmospheric La Mine, hung with old mining equipment and paraphernalia is the undisputed centre of 1800’s nightlife, providing a warm welcome to locals, tourists and seasonaires alike. The staff are friendly, the beer is good, the live music is loud and there’s always something going on, you might find them hosting a quarter pipe and rail jam out on their front deck! For more nightlife, you’d have to head out to the other villages, easy to do as the shuttle buses run until after midnight and the good news is if you miss the last one from Plagne Centre at least it’s a downhill walk (or sledge) home.
