Après-Ski in La Plagne

You'll find live music straight off the mountain at the Camp de Base Café at the bottom of the Montchavin bubble. La Tourmente in Montalbert is an unusually quaint après-ski spot. Relax on the terrace and soak up some sun while enjoying a well-earned drink. 

Further from the slopes, Spitting Feathers Bar in Plagne Bellecôte is a favourite for many and it’s not difficult to see why. Styled on a typical English pub, it is open in the afternoon and shows sports on its screens as well as hosting quiz nights and karaoke. 

The most popular place in Plagne Soleil is Monica’s Bar, which is busy any time of day thanks to its sun terrace and wide choice of beers.

In Place de la Cheminée (Plagne Centre) you will find Le Luna Bar which boasts more of a laid back atmosphere with an enormous drinks menu and even some good whiskies!

Aside from skiing, there are lots of fun activities to enjoy in La Plagne. There’s an extensive network of walking trails open to the public which give non-skiers a chance to soak in the mountain atmosphere. For the best views head to the trails which are accessible from the Glaciers Gondola. Take the  gondola to the middle station and you can walk along a 4.5km trail, all the while marvelling at the high alpine scenery. A fun adrenaline filled activity for all the family is the Colorado Luge (minimum height 140cm). Take the Colorado chair from Plagne Centre and then toboggan down the 1.5km sledging track. This one is not for the faint hearted! Another one for adventure junkies is the Super Tyro zip line that connects Aime 2000 and Plagne Centre. You fly for 600m and can reach speeds of up to 90km/h while admiring the views of La Plagne and beyond – if you are brave enough to open your eyes!
