The standard public prices below are the same online and at ticket offices. Online-only promotions and special offers can reduce the cost, particularly for Saturday skiing, Sunday skiing and family or group bookings.

Which ski pass should you choose?

La Plagne pass: best for staying local

The La Plagne pass covers around 225km of pistes and the local lift network, excluding the Vanoise Express link to Les Arcs. It includes the main resort areas such as Plagne Centre, Plagne Bellecôte, Belle Plagne, Plagne 1800, Plagne Villages, Plagne Soleil, Aime La Plagne, Montalbert, Montchavin-Les Coches and Champagny-en-Vanoise.

This is a good choice for beginners, families and intermediate skiers who are happy exploring La Plagne rather than trying to cover two ski areas in one holiday. With a large choice of blue and red runs, there is plenty to ski without paying extra for access across the valley.

A four-hour pass is also available, which can make more sense than paying for a full day if you only plan to ski for a few hours.

Paradiski pass: for exploring La Plagne and Les Arcs

Paradiski covers La Plagne, Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry, with around 425km of linked pistes. The Vanoise Express cable car connects the two sides of the valley, making it possible to explore both during a longer ski holiday.

The extra cost is worthwhile if you want to ski in Les Arcs on several days, or if exploring a large linked area is part of the appeal of your trip. A useful compromise is to buy the La Plagne pass for your week and add a one-day Paradiski extension when you want to cross over. 

Paradiski passes valid for six to eight days also include an extra half-day of skiing from 12:30 on the afternoon before the first full day of validity. This is useful if you arrive early and want to get on the slopes straight away.

Village ski passes

If you're staying in Champagny-en-Vanoise, Plagne Montalbert or Montchavin-Les Coches and expect to ski mainly around your accommodation, a village pass may be enough. These passes cover a smaller local area rather than all of La Plagne. Check the options available for your dates before choosing a longer pass.

Beginner ski passes in La Plagne

La Plagne has dedicated CoolSki zones with gentle slopes and routes designed for people learning to ski or snowboard. A separate one-day CoolSki pass is available for these areas; check the current price with the lift-pass office.

There are also 16 beginner lifts that can be used free of charge without a ski pass, mostly magic carpets and drag lifts, plus a gondola. This can be useful when you're just starting out, although the free lifts do not give you access to the full ski area.

Once you are confident enough to explore beyond the beginner zones, the local La Plagne pass is the natural next step.

Family ski passes in La Plagne

The Family Pack saves €25 per person on qualifying passes lasting six to eight consecutive days.

The booking must include at least four people: two people aged 13–74 and at least two aged 5–17. Everyone must have the same pass type, duration and dates, purchased together in one transaction.

The reduced standard child tariff applies only to ages 5–12. Teenagers aged 13–17 can count towards the Family Pack conditions but are normally charged the adult tariff.

Group ski passes in La Plagne

The Tribe Pack saves €10 per person when three or more people buy passes together. It applies to six- to eight-day passes, with everyone choosing the same duration and ski area and paying in one transaction.

For a group of friends skiing together for a week, this is worth comparing with any early-booking offer available for the same dates.

Deals and discounted ski passes in La Plagne

Early- and late-season skiing

The La Plagne local pass is discounted by 15% during the opening week, 12–18 December 2026, and the closing week, 17–24 April 2027. These periods can offer better value, although the amount of terrain open depends on snow and operating conditions.

The Paradiski link closes on 17 April, so anyone visiting in the final week should check exactly which lifts and areas will be operating.

Disabled skiers

A 50% discount is available to skiers who can provide proof of a disability rating of at least 80%. Where the relevant disability card states that an accompanying person is required, the same discount is available for that companion when both passes are bought together. Confirm the documentation required with a lift-pass office before purchase.

Free ski passes in La Plagne

Children aged under five years old ski for free. Proof of age required at the moment of purchase.

Pedestrian passes in La Plagne

You don't have to ski to enjoy the mountain. Pedestrian passes are available for selected lifts, allowing non-skiers to reach viewpoints, meet friends at mountain restaurants or enjoy a ride up the mountain.

Pedestrian passes are sold at lift-pass offices and ticket machines, rather than online. Access is restricted to designated lifts, including the Roche de Mio, Glaciers/Live 3000, Funiplagne, Champagny, Lac Noir and Montalbert gondolas, along with selected chairlifts.

Prices depend on the lift and duration you need, so check the current winter tariff at a sales point. If you plan to use the lifts more than once, ask about day or multi-day pedestrian options rather than buying individual journeys.

Cross-country ski passes in La Plagne

La Plagne offers 20km of cross-country skiing tracks spread across the mountain. For most of them, you won't have to purchase a ski pass, you'll only need lift access if you want to use the trails that are further up the slopes. 

Annual and season passes in La Plagne

If you're planning to ski regularly throughout the winter, a season pass may be better value than buying individual weeks. The La Plagne season pass suits people who want to ski the local area throughout the winter. The Paradiski season pass is the more flexible option if you want to use both sides of the linked ski area. The annual Paradiski pass also includes summer lift access.

Ski pass insurance in La Plagne

Ski insurance is not included in your La Plagne lift pass, and mountain rescue on the French ski slopes can be expensive. Even if you already have travel insurance, check that it covers piste rescue, evacuation from the mountain and any medical expenses arising from a skiing accident.

La Plagne offers Carré Neige insurance, which costs €3.50 per person per day, or €49 for an individual season policy. It provides assistance and cover for search and rescue, evacuation and repatriation, as well as specified medical expenses and other incidents covered by the policy. Cover also extends to certain other snow sports, subject to the policy terms.

You can add Carré Neige when buying your lift pass online or at a ticket office. If you have already bought your pass, you can ask a lift-pass office to add the insurance afterwards.

Where to buy ski passes in La Plagne

Buying online is convenient for standard passes and is essential for the Saturday and Sunday offers and for booking family or group discounts. A lift-pass office is the better option if you need a pedestrian pass, a Senior Plus pass, a disability discount or a one-day Paradiski extension.

Sales offices and collection points are spread across the resort, including Plagne Centre, Belle Plagne, Plagne 1800, Plagne Villages, Plagne Soleil, Montchavin and Aime La Plagne. Ticket machines are also available at selected locations.

Ski-rescue insurance is not included in the lift-pass prices. Carré Neige cover can be added for €3.50 per person per day, or you can use your own winter-sports policy if it covers mountain rescue and medical costs in France.
