Thanks to all who read this.

There is "civilised" live music, i.e. jazz trio; in some of the top hotels in Lech, incl: Arlberg, Berghotel (Oberlech), "Post". It is not necessarily advertised outside the hotels, but everyone is welcomed and the bars are really nice. It is usually once a week.

We were there this January.
The area is about to get much bigger for the next season!
They are planning a new gondola from Lech linking it with Warth-Schrockten area (additional 70 km of pistes).
Our favourite runs included both itineries down to Zug and area above it plus Rendl in St Anton. Tasty pizzas in Schneggerei down in Lech plus Balmalp above Zug.

Hi,

Thank you for a great report :thumbup:

Hi,

Can we go on the list too please -)
La Plagne on 9 March :!:

Hi,

We are going to La Plagne on 9 March and can't wait :D
Trying to decide which of the 2 area ski passes to buy. We will definetely visit Les Arcs at least once during the week.
Could you please tell us your favourite Les Arcs pisted runs doable during a day trip from La Plagne Centre and your favourite mountain lunch eateries?

Kind regards,

Thank you very much for the info :thumbup:
Great picture :!:
Looks like a proper deep powder -)
The trees look beautiful too.

I hope snow stays good until 9 March.
We have been to 3 Valleys last March a week later and still plenty of snow, but very slushy at resort level except Val Thorens.

All the best,

Hi Smartski,

Thank you for a great review :thumbup:
We are going to La plagne Centre in 2 weeks time and can't wait :D
It will be our first visit to Paradiski area.
We will definitely try the toboggan run :!:

Can you recommend other good mountain eateries?
Did you ski down to Montalbert?
Is it a good run?
Are there any nice live music bars in Plagne Centre?

Regards,

From Plagne Centre you head towards Bellecote, using La Bergerie [lift] with a simple run down 'Trieuse' [Blue], partway down 'Trieuse' you can peel off to the right and take a natural gulley which is fun. Once in Bellecote, use Arpette [lift]. Off the lift there's a short run down to a rope drag (flat link). After here there is the really long 'Mont Blanc' [blue] all the way down to the Vanoise Express [double-decker cablecar link to Les Arcs].

Once you're over the other side then you'll need to judge how long to stay before heading back. We got over at 10:45 ish. The weather closed-in and started snowing at 12:15 so we had lunch and headed back. We didn't really explore much further over than Arc 1800. The 'Foret' (blue) being a tree-lined wandering road that snakes back-n-forth – a favourite for the beginners, but with some reds to drop down in-between as desired.

The way back is easy from Plan Peisey (Les Arc side) then it's the Vanoise Express back, sign posted blue to either Lac Noir (bubble) or Plan Bois (chair); followed by Bijolin (lift). Short blue run down to the Crozats (lift) which lifts you back to the Bellecote valley. Let it run from the 'La Barrieres' into 'L'arpette' (blues) for some fast cruising. Colosses (lift) is the quick way back to Plagne Centre.

The Mont Blanc run was one of our favourites, if you're not going to Les Arc (and if snow conditions are good) don't miss the full length staying on this run as it carries all the way down to Montchavin/Les Coches (the villages at 1250 & 1450). 60 markers all the way from the top of Dos Rond [lift] down to no.1 marker where there is a small but lovely bar/restaurant down at Montchavin (opposite Montchavin lift]).

14.5 sleeps to La Plagne :D
