 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
We're going to Belle Plagne on Saturday and have just heard that friends will be in Plagne 1800 at the same time and we'd like to meet up with them some evenings. I've read on the website that there is a lift from Belle to Bellecote, then a bus from there to Plagne Centre. Friends can then get to Centre on a bus from 1800. This transport runs until 1.00am. What it doesn't say is, how often the lift/bus runs and how long it takes. Would it be quicker to use taxis and if so, any idea of cost? Anyone been recently and can help? Obviously, we need to know if the journey if feasible or not worth the effort, just for a few drinks.

Hi Maggi, I don't think you'll do it too often. Belle Plagne to Bellecote is constant, so no probs there. The buses, I think are also fairly regular (I saw them dotting about constantly) but for a few drinks? Probably more trouble than it's worth. You are probably talking 30-40 mins travelling plus waiting time each way.
Much easier is to meet at lunch or am. You are only 20 mins ski=ing to Plagne Centre and so is 1800. Meet by the Colorado lift in Plagne Centre (I'm pretty sure it's the one on the webcam).
I wish I was coming too. I've had to shelve my plans

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

Don't. It hurts. I had it all planned. A week in March with my brother in law, (family aren't interested in 2 trips). We can't get good flights off this rock. 
You are going to have a great time. By the way, my advice is to forget the Vanoise connection unless you really want to say you've done it. There is so much in the Belle Plagne area that you'll never do it all.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

maggi, you've got yourself almost as far apart as you could manage within the central La Plagne bowl. I agree with Michael B. Try it one evening, and see how it goes. Meet in Bellecote. You'll have easy ride in gondola, your friends will come by bus. Websites suggest the service is quite frequent and the bus goes all the way from Plagne 1800 to Bellecote (no changing required). Taxis are expensive and unreliable.

Michael B, Cheers - wasn't going to bother going to Les Arcs as we went last year. We usually get our lift passes on the bus, from the rep, and knowing that they never, ever, sell local passes, only area passes, I wouldn't be surprised it they sell the Paradiski ones only. Still, will queue up at the office to save a few Euros!

You could buy on line and pick up in resort. You'll save ££ too.
If you had more time I'd say get 'em sent but if you are off on Sat it's too late.
They take about 5 days to arrive by recorded delivery.

Will attempt to be more organised next time. Usually get them on the bus because it's easy.
