Take a gentle run down the slopes to lunch at your favourite restaurant or go off-piste, cross country, snowboarding, bob-sleighing and ice skating.
The runs directly around Belle Plagne are either red or blue and suitable for virtually all skiers. Most are tree lined and hold the snow well. Recently installed snow cannons ensure snow here throughout the season.
Skiers’ paradise
The piste from the back-door of the hotel leads directly down to Plagne Bellecôte with its modern and efficient lifts giving you access to the entire Paradiski skiing area.
In total there are 239 runs – comprising 29 black, 66 red, 132 blue and 12 green – covering a massive 425 kms of piste. The area is serviced by 144 lifts, with lower slopes at 1200 metres going up to glaciers of 3250 metres; so skiing is assured throughout the winter season.
Cross country skiers can explore 90km of marked trails around Plagne Montalbert including tremendous scenic forest trails and several high level routes.
For those of you wanting to recover from the previous day / nights exertions / excursions, lounging in the sun on the large terrace bar of the Hotel Carlina directly across the road, provides an attractive alternative, where your friends can come to meet you.
Go snowboarding
There’s plenty of choice with a snowpark in Belle Plagne, a permanent half pipe in Plagne Bellecôte and a snowboarding area with sound system in Montchavin/Les Coches and Champany en Vanoise.
At the end of the day
Ski back to your suite and soak in a hot, bubbling Jacuzzi outside in the snow or enjoy a relaxing massage to ease those muscles before getting ready for the evening.
