An exceptional destination in every season
While La Plagne is internationally renowned for its outstanding ski area, the mountains reveal an entirely different character as soon as the snow melts.
Winter
With 425 kilometres of slopes across the Paradiski ski area, La Plagne is one of the world’s premier ski destinations.
From alpine skiing and snowboarding to ski touring, snowshoeing, dog sledding, paragliding and even the famous Olympic bobsleigh track, every guest can create a holiday tailored to their own interests.
Thanks to the resort’s high altitude, snow conditions and skiing in La Plagne remain exceptionally reliable throughout the ski season, making La Plagne one of the most snow-sure destinations in the French Alps.
Summer
When the snow gives way to alpine meadows, La Plagne becomes an exceptional destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
Hiking, mountain biking, golf, via ferrata, white-water rafting on the Isère River, canyoning, adventure parks and paragliding offer countless ways to discover the beauty of the French Alps.
Summer in La Plagne is equally appealing for families, sports enthusiasts and anyone looking to escape the heat and enjoy the tranquillity of the mountains.
A culinary experience at your own pace
A stay at Chalet du Bois Melay is also an opportunity to discover the rich flavours of Savoyard cuisine.
Fondue, raclette, tartiflette, artisan charcuterie, farmhouse cheeses and regional wines are among the simple pleasures that make every evening in the mountains unforgettable.
You can prepare your own meals in the chalet’s fully equipped kitchen or choose to have a private chef create bespoke menus tailored to your preferences.
For an entirely carefree holiday, meals can also be delivered directly to the luxury ski chalet, while several excellent restaurants are just a few minutes away.
