High up at 2,050m, Plagne Soleil and Plagne Villages offer stunning views, quiet accommodation and easy access to the slopes.
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 Plagneโs 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 youโll 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.
