oh, I don't know. Ignore the music, the props, the stage routine, the lighting and terrible lip sync;

then there are still some lovely attributes worth watching. :D

Not working yet. Rumoured that there should be discounts for booking before end October and they will post passes to UK free...

We'll see.


Delayed! Revised date for website going live ...29/10/12.
Which "if" there will be 'early booking' discounts you'll only have 3 days max to place an order.


Think I'm just talking to myself now, but in case anyone is interested the La Plagne Lift pass website is now open. But they are not showing any early-booking discounts :thumbdown:

For 6-day 4-person family then the costs are:
737 euro for La Plagne only
777 euro for 'Discovery' (La Plagne + one day in Les Arcs)
817 euro for 'Paradiski' (La Plagne & Les Arcs)

or if bought through Les Arcs ticket office (until 31/10/12)
696 euro for the full 'Paradiski'

Even if we never get to Les Arcs it's still cheaper by 81 euro than the 'Discovery'. So a no-brainer for me. More to spend on le Chocolat Chaud :thumbup:

If you're an individual adult then 6-day passes look like:
222.50 euro for La Plagne from La Plagne or
223.50 euro for 'Paradiski' from Les Arcs (until 31/10/12)
I've not looked at this in detail so you'll need to check the comparisons.

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.

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.

Anyone tried the "Bob Experience" in La Plagne and
is it worth the money for a quick thrill?
