La Plagne is a great place to come to if you are a freestyle skier or snowboarder. It has a huge snowpark that sits above Plagne centre and under the Funicular. You can reach it from top of the Colorado lift if you're coming from Plagne centre or from the top of the Blanchets if you're coming from Plagne Bellecote.
Riders Nation
La Plagne has a whopping 1km long snowpark known as Riders Nation which caters for people of all abilities. The park is shaped with skiers in mind, (La Plagne has a big freestyle ski scene), but that’s not to stop the snowboarders having a go too.
You will find different sized jumps graded in the same way as the pistes - Green, Blue, Red and Black. As you can imagine, these are named according to their level of difficulty and diversity of their obstacles with green being the easiest and black being the hardest - which is big.
Once the jumps are out of the way, the park splits in two and each branch has a selection of rails and boxes and one also has a wall ride. Unfortunately, there is no drag lift for the park so you must use the Colorado chairlift from Plagne Centre. There are often small competitions in the park for everyone to join in and have a go, mostly on a Friday afternoon. There is also a picnic area where you can eat your lunch whilst watching people throw themselves off the jumps or you can just listen to the music in the sun.
Halfpipe
Down in Plagne Bellcôte there is a half-pipe which is also open to all. There is a chairlift called the Blanchets right next to the pipe which can be used to access it.
Fun Slope
Starting from the top of the Arpette chairlift you'll find a new fun slope zone, which includes a number of snow features similar to a boardercross and slopestyle course, the longest of its kind in Europe. It features jumps, rails, banked turns, rollers and one awesome spiral turn into a tunnel.
