The construction of La Plagne (Eng.: Alpine Meadows) as a ski region first began in 1960, between the Valley Isere and the 3,400 high Dome de Bellecote. Just one year later, the first lifts began working and in the course of the year the artificial villages were created around Plagne Centre. Later the designers rather wanted to create a cosy atmosphere and turned towards the chalet style to create their buildings, and so besides the large concrete living blocks, La Plange also offers quaint apartment complexes now. Today there are various stations, each with a different appearance. This is best observed in the evening in the cosy restaurants, as they begin to serve the local savoury dishes, and in La Plagne Centre where the party scene comes into swing. The ten stations are connected throughout the day until 1:00 am through a complimentary shuttle bus, and occasionally with gondolas. .
The resorts special charm and its diversity make the French resort especially interesting skiers travelling in groups. Everybody who is hungry for party and action will find ideal conditions in La Plange to end the day with the right music and a little alcohol. Numerous bars, discos and the casino give you space to party until the sun goes up. When travelling in groups, the many winter hiking routes are also popular, caring for a sporty après ski experience. Groups and couples can relax in spa facilities which are of course also available in La Plagne.
