A brief overview
La Plagne; A collective name for 10 villages that are all linked
up to form a massive 425km ski and snowboard playground! In 2003 a link to
nearby Les Arcs resulted in the creation of the now infamous Paradiski area and
something to whet everyone's appetite no matter what level of ability. It's
high, has speedy links, stunning scenery and a reliable snow record.
