Read reviews of the best La Plagne nightlife
For the purposes of research I have been branching out with my restaurant choices this season and experiencing as many different venues as possible, however this week I fell back on an old fail-safe; Le Refuge.
La Plagne’s annual Born to Be Show attracted thousands to the Jean-Luc Crétier Stade de Slalom in Plagne Centre on Thursday evening as local skiers and snowboarders put on a spectacular winter sports display.
Right, the super luge derby run by Oxygene Ski and Snowboard School in La Plagne. Simply put, every one should do it, it is the most chaotically hilarious fun I have had in a long time - check out the video to the right of the report if you don't believe me!
Haven’t you always thought that the one thing missing from your ski holiday was a good night out at the bowling alley? No? No, probably not. To be fair I hadn’t really thought that the two went together either but I recently took a trip to La Plagne’s own bowling alley and found it to be an unexpectedly great night out.
In 1992, Albertville hosted the 16th Winter Olympiad with La Plagne selected as the venue for the Bobsleigh event.
So my weekend started out well with a trip to the bar to watch Wales give England a right good thrashing in their 6 Nations Rugby game!
Last night saw a slightly pre-emptive but very successful Valentines party thrown by Oxygene Ski & Snowboard School, taking their usual breathe party and giving it a flirty twist with a traffic lights theme.
The beginning of the end, Scotty’s end of season party, held on the final Wednesday après, featuring The Dominos and DJ Blitz and hosted by Oxygene it promised to be an absolutely epic event and it certainly did not let us down.
It’s time to settle the age old, eternal debate. To end once and for all the question that has plagued not only us but our parents, our grandparents, and all our ancestors for centuries before us. The fundamental issue that goes to the heart, to the very core of who we are as people! The question? Beer Pong or Flip Cup?
Listen up now folks, my birthday is just around the corner and I know what I want, my very own Skidoo! And a year round snowy playground on which to ride it if possible!
Pancake day may have passed but that’s no reason not to get stuck in to a crepe every now and then. I’m a traditionalist at heart so would usually stick to the lemon and sugar classic but good lord there is a world of pancake choice out there, there’s some crazy cats even putting cheese in them! Savoury pancakes, who knew!
This year I was fortunate enough to receive the ultimate Christmas gift. My partner, Eléa, booked us on an excursion I’ve wanted to try since forever: a once in a lifetime helicopter ride round Mont Blanc.
This week I have been doing my drinking for charity! That’s right The Huck Cancer crew came to Scotty’s and threw an awareness and fund raising event which I supported by drinking excessively and dancing on tables.
And the lifts are open! The first day finally came and the resort came to life on Saturday 15th December for the winter season of 2012/2013.
As I’m sure you all know as you have it marked on your calendar and never, ever forget, it’s Mother’s Day on March 10th which is this Sunday!
Well I don’t know about you but I definitely started the new year with a headache and a half and a very hazy recollection of what happened to 2012. Several litres of water later and the night started to come back to me and let's just say that when La Plagne decides to throw a party they sure do throw it in style.
Well this is it folks, my last après report of the 2012/13 season and my god has it been a good one. I have experienced so many of the amazing activities and events that La Plagne has to offer and yet I can’t help but feel that I haven’t even scratched the surface - so many un-tasted restaurants and un-drunk bars, events I missed through having to work (boo), and tour groups I haven’t been a part of. Ah well - looks like I shall just have to come back next year! What a shame.
Well it has been one amazing Christmas here in La Plagne; I have never seen so many skiing Santas in my life, not to mention snowboarding elves and one pair who deserve a mention for being a skiing reindeer pulling a snowboarding Santa along with his ski poles. Great festive cheer boys.
