A Faster Lift And Guardian Angels In La Plagne

As La Plagne enters its 65th year of operation, the resort continues to evolve with a host of new attractions and services which skiers and snowboarders can enjoy between 13 December 2025 and 25 April 2026 this season.

A completely refurbished lift link has created a faster connection from Plagne Bellecôte to the top of La Plagne (Live 3000 at 3,080 m). The journey is made on two separate gondolas using a brand-new mid station at the Col de Forcle.

From here, there is direct access to Champagny-en Vanoise, the Plagne Bellecôte ski area, or the Roche de Mio summit, where you can marvel at the 360° stunning panoramic views of iconic peaks such as Mont Blanc and La Grande Casse.

The Roche de Mio gondola, which opens in December 2025, will have 10 person gondolas which take less than 10 minutes to reach Roche de Mio from Plagne Bellecôte. The system can carry more than 3,000 passengers per hour.

‘Guardian Angel’ avalanche detection and rescue

La Plagne’s ski lift company has recruited a high-tech new team member, a DJI drone. It is designed to enhance safety. Light, fast and fitted with thermal cameras and AI, it can spot avalanches, scan danger zones and guide rescue teams within minutes. Four ski patrollers have been trained to operate the drone.

New guided off-piste sessions

La Plagne’s ESF is making powder and off-piste adventures more accessible through guided sessions. Strong intermediates and expert skier and snowboarders can explore beyond the marked pistes with expert instructors, kit included. Teens and young adults get their own tailored courses, mixing progression with avalanche awareness in one of the world’s largest off-piste areas. Prices from €80.
