Where to stay when you come here on holiday
You've made up your mind – you want to come to La Plagne on your next holiday. But where to stay? Let us help you choose.
With a global reputation for world-class skiing, La Plagne is one of the most popular ski resorts in the world. Its location, right at the heart of the Paradiski ski area, is largely responsible for its success.
There are several towns and villages that come under the umbrella of the brand ‘La Plagne’, linked by an efficient and free bus service, as well as an extensive network of lifts. La Plagne's six high-altitude villages and four lower-lying villages, each have their own character.
As with any resort, the best place to stay depends on who you’re travelling with, what you like to do, and how deep your pockets are. Whether you are looking for luxury hotels, chalets for large groups or apartments that are as close to the lifts as possible, you’ll find it all here.
A chalet in La Plagne is the perfect base for your mountain escape, whether you’re after cosy charm or five-star luxury. You can choose from traditional Savoyard farmhouses, contemporary alpine homes or charming mazots, with options for couples, families, groups or large parties. Chalets can be self-catered for private stays or fully catered with meals, concierge and spa services, and are available by the room or as a whole property. Whatever you choose, there’s a chalet to suit every taste and budget.
