Hi
Im off to La Plagne 1800 with a small group of friends 12th April, staying in the Chanterelle chalet-anyone been? I know it is not going to be a pretty village but the snow looks good so thats all that matters!
We have 2 snowboarders, and 3 skiers from beginer (in lessons) to an intermediate and one experienced.
Basically I want to know what lift pass to get. Is there enough difficult skiing in the La Plagne valley to just get the discovery one? Also how difficult are the runs/how long does it take to get across to Les Arcs?
Cheers

The North Face of Bellecote springs to mind. You don't think that's difficult?
I was invited to ski it with a group back in 2006. I declined, my skills may have been up to it, but my head was not.
ise did go, and had a good day. http://snowslider.net/2006/04/18/2006-04-18-bellecote-north-face/#more-93

Its just myself (skier) and one of the boarders who are of a decent standard (basi qualified)-think were going to hire a guide and goo offpiste which I have heard La Plagne is excellent for-bit of a hidden gem?!

La Plagne may be good but it is definitely not a hidden gem, for a real hidden gem you need to head up the valley at a little!

There's loads of skiing on the La Plagne side to keep most people occupied. However if you have highly experienced skiers/boarders in your group, you may well want to venture over to Les Arcs. If it's your first time in La Plagne I'd say get the local pass, and the one day extension to Les Arcs. Your beginners will struggle to make it worthwhile going over.
Plagne 1800 is not the most convenient of the villages to get quick access to Les Arcs. Depending on how busy it is, and the conditions, probably take about an hour for intermediate skiier to get over the valley.
If your beginner wants to go over, you can get all the way there on blues.
If you want real difficulty, then you will have to go over to Les Arcs, as I wouldn't say La Plagne has too much extreme stuff.

Just looked at your post again, and see that your going at Easter.
That trip over to Les Arcs, could well be closer to 90 mins there, and longer coming back.
