Intermediates skiing in ski resort La Plagne, Montchavin
Paradise! We can’t think of a better resort in France for intermediates of all levels, wide cruising runs of which 85% of the 225kms of pistes are red or blue runs, need we say more!
Advanced Skiing in ski resort La Plagne, Montchavin
The advanced skiers don’t come here to ski red and blues and looking at the piste map you might think that all La Plagne has to offer, you’d be wrong! The off piste skiing here is fantastic, and unlike many other resorts with good off piste skiing, most visitors stay on the piste, meaning that fresh snow remains untouched for weeks. The spring skiing is also superb away from the slopes. We highly recommend it!
