Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm planning to ride the Etape du Tour (it's a road bike event) next summer. It finishes in La Plagne so I'm looking at Airbnbs in the area. Question is which of the La Plagne villages has the most life in summer, especially for restaurants?

Plagne Center, or 1800.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We stayed in Belle Plagne, which was close enough to Plagne Centre, which is where most activities are, about 15 minutes walk.
The gondola ran between the two but whether it still does I don’t know.
Definitely more restaurants in Plagne Centre.

The étape and the TDF are both finishing in Plagne villages, which has the accommodation and the outdoor space but ironically not that many restaurants. This past summer Plagne Centre had the most restaurants open (not all the restaurants open automatically in the summer). I guess Plagne Centre will be your best bet.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks all, I'll have a look at Plagne Centre so.

@PeakyB, there isn't a gondola between Belle Plagne and Plagne Centre. You are either thinking of Bellecote, or perhaps were staying in Plagne Villages?

@ecureuil, you’re right. We stayed in the Hotel Deux Domaines in Belle Plagne. The gondola I was remembering was from Plagne Bellecote.
Actually quite a few summer activities were based in Bellecote. Many in Plagne Centre. Others of course further away, obviously white water rafting down in the valley (I think on a stretch between Landry and Aime).
La Plagne had the toughest ever mini golf course, designed on an alpine resort theme, I’ve ever played. I wonder if that’s still there, mocking people?
