Belle Plagne Village
Belle Plagne is without doubt the most picturesque of the purpose built resorts of La Plagne. Much effort has been made to develop the village in keeping with the traditional Savoyard construction methods using timber and stone. The result is a harmonious collection of smaller buildings resting on the mountainside, nestled by trees. Not only is it pretty, but its altitude of 2050m guarantees the quality of the snow throughout the season, and with ski-in/ski-out access to/from the accommodation, you will be ideally situated to take advantage of all the resort has to offer from the start to the very end of the season.

The gondola between Belle Plagne and Bellecote continues to run until 00:45, it only takes 5 minutes and thus allows you to easily sample the shops, pubs, restaurants and leisure facilities in this neighbouring village plus an ice rink, 25m outdoor pool (heated) with a Spa.
