altitude or too many sherberts Nelly?????
:roll:

It's either that or the fact that I was boarding at the time. Fortunately I've seen the light and crossed back over from the dark side, never had any problems since.

That explains it!!
Thanks nelly,

Hopefully others will se this timely reminder of the inherent and unpublicised dangers of the dark side and stay safely on two legs.

Just a little reminder that the discounted lift passes for 3 to 15 days for Les Arcs and the Paradiski area are only on sale until the end of October. Hurry if you want to save money on your holiday. Visit the Les Arcs lift office on the link below. Not sure if the same offer is on sale in the La plagne office, but if you buy the Paradiski pass it is valid on both sides of the Vanoise Express.

Nelly and others, if you want to see pics of conditions last season in La Plagne, visit my Les Arcs facebook page as spend loads of time over on the La Plagne side as well.

If you are coming to La Plagne for a week it is worth getting the one day discovery pass for sure. Very easy to get across on thew vanoise express and makes a fun day out from anywhere in la plagne.

Thanks Snowcrazy :)

snowcrazy,
La Plagne's lift-pass website was supposed to go live yesterday (but it's not up & running yet, as far as I can see). I gather that the discounted rate was "due" to be offered ...but if the websites not working... :evil:

We discussed on the 'Les Arcs' page, that it would be better buying the pass on the "right side" of the valley...but do you know if it was bought from Les Arcs website, does it actually have to pass through a Les Arcs gate first to activate it? (I would have thought not but...?)

The saving is quite substantial with the offer, a family Paradiski area pass from Les Arc today is 696 euro whereas just a La Plagne discovery pass will be 777 euro come 1st November.

I emailed the ticket office; they say:-

"You are not obligate to visit Les arcs first, you can go to La Plagne directly with your ski passes. (Service Vente en Ligne)"

....Obviously this only works on the full Paradiski area pass [don't buy a 'discovery' from Les Arcs if you're staying in La Plagne!!], but at the moment the cost of a full family pass is less than a La Plagne 'discovery' pass will be after October!

So if La Plagne don't get their website up & running in the next week then I'll be buying from Les Arcs.

Hi guys, I have heard that people are not sure when the La Plagne site will be online and they have not confirmed to me that they will be offering this discount. Remember the discount finishes on the 31 October which is next Wednesday. Unless you are sure the discount is going to be offered I suggest you get the paradiski pass. Well worth the money and you can come and visit Les Arcs for a day or more.

And yes, last year it did not matter whether you bought it on the Les Arcs or La plagne side, it still works at the start of the day wherever you are. The only problem you may have is if it goes wrong.

Hope that helps.

It's easy to get from La Plagne to Les Arcs to La Plagne - there's a huge cable car that links the two and it's easy enough to ski to & from the cable car so a bus wouldn't really be necessary.
