Nestled high at 2,050 metres, Belle Plagne is the most elevated of the La Plagne villages and one of the most appealing bases in the vast Paradiski ski area.  Its altitude guarantees reliable snow throughout the season, making it the perfect option for families wanting to make use of the slopes throughout their stay.

Here are  a few reasons why, Belle Plagne ski holidays make the best winter trips for families, with the resorts mix of gentle blues and beginner ski schools, which are perfect for families wanting to learn how to ski.

Beginner-Focused Slopes for Confidence Building

Belle Plagne has a reputation for being one of the best resorts for beginners.  The village is situated beside several “Cool Ski” zones, which are designated free areas with easy gradients and gently magic carpets for beginner level skiers to build their confidence in a relaxed setting.  The beginner-friendly spaces allow children and adults alike to learn without the pressure of busier slopes.

Once you feel comfortable on the slopes after mastering the basics, the resort links seamlessly into La Plagne’s expansive network of wide blue runs.  These ski runs encourage new skiers to explore further and progress steady with their craft.  The terrain is also suited for mixed-ability groups, allowing family members to practice near the village.  At the same time, those with more experience can venture higher up the mountain, then all meet again for a hot chocolate at a slope-side café.

Comfortable & Convenient Accommodation & Village Layout

Belle Plagne is carefully designed to make ski holidays run as smooth as possible.  The centre ensures safety and calm, whilst the surrounding chalet-style buildings preserve a more traditional Alpine atmosphere, making them feel like a home away from home accommodations for those who want to stay in chalet-style lodgings.

Most accommodations offer direct access to the slopes, which are perfect for those who don’t want to walk further in their ski boots to and from the slopes.

Off-Slope & Après-Ski Activities for All Ages

Even though skiing can be the main attraction for a winter ski holiday, Belle Plagne features many off-slope activities for family bonding on rest days such as bowling alley and toboggan runs.  For those seeking more relaxed activities, you can try snowshoeing trails through the pine forests or choose to unwind in a wellness spa.

For food lovers, they can enjoy a variety of restaurants offering hearty dishes and international cuisine.  Cosy interiors with roaring fires make it easy to settle in for a relaxed evening.  Apres-ski is friendly and family-oriented with lively venues that offer music and mulled wine that you can enjoy without the larger crowds found in the party resorts.
