Hi,

I will be going to La Plagne in 2 weeks. It is my first time at La Plagne. I do not know what to expect. I am going with my brother (we are both expert skiers) and we would like to take in the steepest and the best terrain.

Can some of the readers of this help with advice on where to ski, to get the Paradski pass or just the La Plagne pass, and where would be good places to eat.

We are staying at the Maeva Clubhotel Plagne Bellecôte . We have no idea if it is good or not but anything on the slopes is good for me.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steepndeep

Welcome :D Do not, under any circumstances buy the Paradiski pass. The Vanoise Express is closed for the entire winter season, because some of the cable needs replacing. There is no information yet released about replacement bus services to cover the loss of the link.
You may want to consider renting the services of a Mountain Guide to get the best from the area. The most well known "expert" descent is the North Face of Bellecote.
