Ski Holidays in La Plagne 1800, France

La Plagne 1800 is known as the backwater of La Plagne with a special charm. An old mining village that still sports the traditional wooden chalets with locally quarried 'blue lauze' slate roofs. For ones looking to get away from the hustle of the Plagne Centre on their ski holiday to La Plagne.

Here is a quaint village that has plenty of pleasant chalets for your ski chalet holiday.

Myself and five others, all in our mid twenties, enjoyed a fabulous week in Plagne 1800 in January 2008.

The skiing was amazing and we were very lucky that we got snow in the evenings and sunshine during the day. There are loads of blue runs, so this resort is definitely ideal for the intermediate skier, although the advanced skier may wish for a few more red/black runs. For a long uninterrupted ski I would recommend heading down to Montchavin. Versant Sud also provides some amazing skiing with plenty of off piste available, plus lots of sunshine over on that side.

Because of the lack of bars in Plagne 1800 (La Mine being the only real place to go), I would recommend heading to Plagne Centre for some extra nightlife. There is a free bus that links the two together but depending on what time you stay out until you may need to make your own way home. The red run heading back down to 1800 is walkable, just tread carefully. Scotty's Bar seemed to be the liveliest we could find with live music there most nights.

On the Thursday night, the staff night off, we had dinner in the Vega restaurant in Plagne Centre and enjoyed a lovely meal which was reasonably priced also. The fondue was a big success with everyone.

All in all a great holiday and would recommend La Plagne to anyone.

This really is an intermediates paradise with few challenging black runs and little for the tentative novice. The connecting lift to Les Arcs is not in operation this year, but there is loads of skiing in La Plagne without it. We stayed in self-catering accommodation which was of a good standard. Take plenty of games as there is little to do in 1800 once you have finished skiing. There is only one restaurant, a Pizzeria, which serves decent pizzas. Suggest you take the free bus to Plagne Central for a wider choice.
