LA PLAGNE - RESORT LIFE

Don’t be put off by the utilitarian buildings of Plagne 2000. Many of these house some brilliant buzzing bars and restaurants, head to La Mine where the seasonaires tend to hang out, No’b’l’m for the house shots and for live music don’t miss PlanJa.nl.

Plagne 1800 has a more chalet-style feel to it, great for couples and family skiing holidays with not quite so many bars but very easy slope access (like 2000) but more pleasing on the eye. Plagne 1800 still has quite a few good bars and restaurants though.
