The trademark of La Plagne: a festive and sporting spirit that grows by the day, the DNA of a Connected and inventive resort, a seamless madeto-measure experience. The winner of a Travel d’Or “French Tourist Destination” award in 2018, the ski area innovates to secure a Very High Satisfaction rating, the mainstays being event creation, digital technology and marketing.
Created in 1960, the « largest resort in the world » has been connected to Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry since 2003 to form the Paradiski domain.
With 79% of its ski area above 2000 metres, an equipped glacier at 3250 metres and a vertical drop of over 2000 metres, La Plagne hosts alpine skiing tournaments, and is the proud owner of France’s only Olympic bobsleigh, luge and skeleton track; fitted out for the 1992 Olympic Games.
Several lifts have been inaugurated in 2018-2019, with the aim of facilitating links between resorts and boosting the area: the Tapis de l'Ange on the Montchavin-Les-Coches high altitude sector, the Crozats chairlift, a modern and comfortable high-speed detachable six-seater chairlift, as well as the Champagny gondola lift and the Inversens detachable six-seater chairlift.
La Plagne is also renowned for its innovative, sporting, cultural or festive events organised throughout the year, notably around its YUGE application, which has won around twenty marketing awards.
Voted “Best social media destination” by We Like Travel in 2016, the resort continues to innovate with the launch of La Plagne Resort, the region’s first online travel agency, that brings together accommodation providers, ski schools, transport, service and activity providers, and helps develop strong commercial ties with socio-professionals and the landlords and renters present in the region.
After « Plagne Access » and the introduction of digital payments for ski passes, the ski area continues to make each customer experience simpler and more magical with packaged, certified and marketed offers for the one destination.
Through Foncière Rénovation Montagne, Compagnie des Alpes has helped boost the occupancy of 18 residences and 99 apartments in the area. It has also had a hand in the total renovation of residences such as Baccara and Araucaria (in partnership), and finalised the acquisition of the Cassiopée residence. La Plagne also offers new accommodations such as the "night in the groomer", which won an award at the 2018 Tourism Innovation Awards.
As a committed resort, La Plagne is a pilot for the European PROSNOW project, coordinated by Météo-France, which aims to improve water resource management through climate and weather forecasting tools, feeding into a snow management system. It has also added the water component to its Observatory.
