vernz1983, I've been to La Plagne once, and the snow was excellent, would definitely go back. I can't remember much of the nightlife, but I do remember one particular bar (I think it was at the bottom of that cable car that links the villages) ...we were in there most nights and if you missed the last cable car back to Plagne Aime (i think that was where we were staying) they would give you a free lift back in a 4x4....which was an experience in itself....I doubt we would have stayed on the road if it wasn’t for the huge banks of snow that he was bouncing off!

Nadenoodlee, yeah thats the one....I think I was equally drunk at the time, so it was quite an enjoyable ride...I never realised snow banks were a safety feature 
...also remember being given some godawful shots in that bar....my memory is a bit hazey, but i think i remember the bar being set on fire too?...

juliebenn, Les Coches is on the other side from Aime- you need to go to Bellecote- up the Arpette and down that way- prob quickest. Montalbert is down from Aime.

vernz1983,
I'm flying to Belle Plagne on the 6th Jan too - have you been before and if so, what's it like? I've been told it's a good situation, as it's high up the mountain, so access to the slopes is dead easy. What's the night life like?
We're going with Crystal on a late deal (£180 each for a a five-person apartment including flights and transfers) and they've said ski passes are £120 if bought through them – is it cheaper to get them when we arrive and if so, where do we get them from?
Can't wait to create some mayhem on the slopes!!!

Specialman, Depends what type of pass you want- I think there were 27 different types/ variations last year! You can get a Paradiski pass for 6 days, or Just La Plagne, or a Decouverte, which gives you 1 day in Les Arcs. Have a look on the website before you go.

Nadenoodlee,
I'm a beginner so I'm not sure If I'll want to be galavanting around to try new slopes. I just want to learn how to board so i reckon a basic one for Belle Plagne would suffice - how much are they and what are the limitations?
Also, can you book them online hrogh the La Plagne website?

Specialman, You can, you would just need a La Plagne pass- which covers a pretty massive area all the villages etc. Go to the La Plagne website- im sure its all linked on there. Belle Plagne is a nice place to learn to board!

Does anyone know how the passes work. As in do you have to scan them, or is it a photo ID. just wondering if I need one of those retractable pass clips?

Just keep the pass in the left pocket of your jacket and trousers (Nothing else should be in the pocket) Ski up to the turnstile pause and hey presto it open's
