La Plagne is big enough in itself to keep anyone amused for 3 days I would have thought; but if you wanted a change of scene you could have a day in Les Arcs which is linked to La Plagne by a major cable car.

The 3valleys is next to LaPlagne. A slightly longer version of the Vanoise express that links LP to Les Arcs could link into the 3v , imagine the taxi fare if you missed the last lift!

tangowaggon, it would have to be a bit more than "slightly longer". More like set-up in Whistler, and then some.

There is a story that Champagny had the choice of linking to 3V to La Plagne. Apparently 3V only offered a bus connection but LP offered a lift and so got the vote.
I think there maybe a bus service from Champagny to Bozel so the areas are joined in a manner of speaking.
If you are in La Plagne be sure to find the Borselier Restaurant above Champagny, on a sunny day from their terrace there is a clear view of Courchevel. The black tarmac strip of the Altiport makes a good reference point. http://www.champagny.com/restauration/1/100339-les-borseliers.html

@charlie26, I think it depends on snow conditions in La Plagne/Les Arcs. If snow good, I'd stay in that linked area, which is more than enough for 3 days.
Last December we drove to Tignes from Les Arcs for a couple of days. Snow conditions much better in Tignes/Val D'Isere and we were glad we made the effort. Free parking in Tignes les Brevieres, fuel and lift passes extra!

red 27, i disagree. There is plenty. Easily enough for 3 days.
And the pistes that are open are in excellent condition.
Certainly better than last year.
Coupled with few people about so no queues and pistes empty, we had a super time yesterday.
Should be able to get over to Les Arcs tomorrow - we're quite happy for our week to come.

The lifts up from Les Coches open tomorrow, and you will be able to ski back to the village.

Is it easy access to the high areas where the conditions will be better thanks

Went up today - quick and easy, but piste narrow and "firm" coming back to Coches.
