Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, off to La Plagne in early Feb - 30 sleeps to go We are staying in Plagne centre, our son is in ski school each morning, and kids club in the afternoons, we plan to ski with him 2-3 afternoons, so can anyone give advise on if its best to buy a local pass for me and my wife and buy top ups to go over to Les Arc, or the whole area pass straight away, we will stay local when with my son. Thanks

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

It can take a while to get over to les arcs from plagne centre. Unless you are really hooning it. You can just buy the discovery pass which I think includes one day over to les arcs.

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

Stayed in Belle Plagne last year with junior on a similar schedule. We got a pass that included one day across the vanoise express to Les Arc. Easily done,enjoyed the trip and back in plenty of time.
What I would say is that you will only get a taster of LA, and with the LP pass offering absolutely loads of skiing I'd question if its worth it with hindsight. That said the vanoise is an experience.
Enjoy either way, I know we did.

Charliefoxtrot, Peterjones3, Thanks for the replies, 6 mins very impressed ! Looks like the discovery option is the one to go for, we have had 1 day in LA before, it was very hard packed and not that great when we were there, so will be nice to try it again with hopefully better conditions. Thanks again

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yes Discovery pass will be a good option, plenty enough to ski in LP but gives the option of going over on one of the days for a change. The difference in cost isn't huge iirc.

Adult prices are -
La Plagne - 222.50€
Discovery - 246€
Paradiski - 262.50€
The cos of adding another day in Les Arcs is something like 39€
So if you think you might possibly do more than one day, then go for the Paradiski. Its only about half an hour to the Vanoise from Bellecote. Allow at least an hour to get back to La Plagne - preferably and hour and a quarter (I've never cut it that fine but a friend used to. He reckoned it was ok to go from the Vanoise -LP side - back to La Plagne in 45 mins, but it could be tight)
But to be fair, there really is a huge amount of skiing in La Plagne. Just depends what you want
