La Plagne, Ski resort in Tarentaise Valley, France
La Plagne extends across 225 kilometers of slopes with 137 runs distributed between 1,250 and 3,250 meters of altitude in the French Alps.
The resort originated from former mining sites and developed into a winter sports destination during the 1960s with the construction of multiple villages.
Each village within La Plagne maintains its individual character, from the traditional Savoyard architecture to modern mountain developments across different elevations.
The resort operates 76 lifts including gondolas and high-speed chairs, with snowmaking equipment covering 329 hectares to ensure skiing conditions throughout winter.
The Plagne Aime 2000 building stands as an architectural statement in the shape of an ocean liner at high altitude among the mountain peaks.

The French Alps encompass several hundred kilometers of ski slopes spread across various mountain ranges. Ski areas such as the Three Valleys, linking Courchevel, Meribel, and Val Thorens, or Paradiski, connecting La Plagne and Les Arcs, provide extensive networks suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers. In Chamonix, the Mont Blanc massif offers technical descents, while high-altitude resorts like Tignes and Les Deux Alpes ensure snow cover thanks to their glaciers. Facilities include efficient ski lifts and simplified access from the valleys. Some resorts like Avoriaz stand out for their car-free organization, while others like Val d'Isère and Alpe d'Huez attract skiers with their significant elevation changes and long runs. These destinations enable winter sports from December to April, with opportunities for summer skiing on certain glaciers.
International ski resorts like Whistler Blackcomb, Niseko, Cortina d'Ampezzo, and Zermatt offer varied terrain. These destinations provide slopes for all levels, Olympic facilities, skiable glaciers, and high-altitude areas. Some resorts are located on volcanoes like Mount Ruapehu, others in mountain ranges such as the Alps, the Rockies, or the Dolomites.
