La Plagne
Why it might suit you:
- Huge ski area (Paradiski): La Plagne links with Les Arcs to form one of the largest interconnected domains in the world, offering plenty of blue and red slopes perfect for intermediates.
- Reliable February snow: Many of La Plagne’s slopes sit above 2,000m, which usually means good coverage mid-season.
- Family-friendly, on-piste focus: Wide, well-groomed runs and convenient access to the slopes make it ideal for those who enjoy straightforward piste cruising.
Potential drawbacks:
- Purpose-built villages: La Plagne is made up of multiple stations at different altitudes, some of which can feel more functional than charming.
- Crowds in peak periods: Its popularity, especially with families, can lead to busy lifts and slopes during school holidays.
- Variable nightlife: While some villages (e.g., Plagne Centre, Belle Plagne) offer bars and restaurants, après-ski is more low-key compared to larger resorts known for partying.
