These small satellite villages of La Plagne Centre are perfect for skiers wanting a quieter, more relaxed stay. They have essential shops, ski hire and beginner areas, with runs leading straight into Plagne Centre. Well-connected by the lift network, they offer good-value chalets and apartments right on the slopes. Enjoy a laid back holiday while staying close to all the action.

Two villages for the price of one with great access to the ski area. Plagne Soleil and Plagne Villages may be La Plagneโ€™s smallest villages but they sit high up at 2,050m, offering breath taking views across the valley to Mont Blanc. They are peaceful and secluded, each with a small Spar supermarket, ski hire outlets, ski schools and adventure companies. Plagne Villages also has a tobacconist and a souvenir shop, but for anything else youโ€™ll need to pop down to one of the larger villages.

Nestled amidst several blue runs, both villages give you the chance to start your day on the slopes rather than waiting for a lift. Returning to your accommodation is just as easy, with well-signposted runs from Plagne Centre and Bellecรดte. There are small beginner areas in each village and a meeting point for ski lessons in Plagne Villages.

Offering a quieter alternative to the busier resorts, these villages provide good-value accommodation right on the slopes and a more laid back vibe. You can enjoy peaceful semi-seclusion or hop into Plagne Centre when you want a livelier scene. They are perfect for skiers seeking small chalets or self-catering apartments with easy access to the rest of the resort.

Dining in Plagne Villages

There are also some great restaurants on the pistes such as Le Bergerie above Plagne Villages and hidden gem Le Dou du Praz situated on the piste above Plagne Soleil, both serve excellent food and have large terraces so make an excellent lunch spot or last stop on the mountain for a beer before a blue run home. In Plagne Villages you have La Casa de L’Ours with a ski to terrace and a reasonably priced menu of local specialities. For some serious rustic atmosphere, head to Le Grizzli at the bottom of Plagne Villages for a cosy wooden chalet environment with meat cooked over an open log fire and a steak heavy menu.

Nightlife in Plagne Villages

After the lifts close the pedestrian-friendly telebus runs all day until shortly after midnight making it possible to stay late on the slopes or sample the nightlife in the surrounding villages. If you do miss the last bus it is possible to walk from Plagne Centre to Plagne Villages/Soleil, but it is an uphill hike and we wouldnโ€™t recommend it after a night out.

If you donโ€™t fancy the surrounding nightlife there are a few bars and restaurants nearby, most notably Monicaโ€™s Pub, a popular restaurant serving great traditional food and a lively bar with great atmosphere, live sport, live music and suntrap terrace, Monicaโ€™s is the aprรจs spot of choice for soleil. For a more extensive nightlife however you will have to head down into Plagne Centre or Bellecรดte.

How to get to Plagne Villages

Plagne Centre is accessible on skis or by foot being situated just down the hill. However, if you do not fancy the exertion there is the โ€˜telebusโ€™ cable car running between Plagne Centre and Plagne Villages, which is then only a short (fairly flat) walk across the pistes to Plagne Soleil.
