Discover La Plagne
La Plagne is part of Paradiski, a huge region in France with something to please every ski enthusiast. Not surprising when you consider the size of La Plagne itself and the 11 resorts within it. The most famous of these resorts are Belle Plagne, Plagne Centre, the high-altitude Aime La Plagne, Plagne Soleil, and Plagne Bellecôte. You can easily travel between these resorts on skis, thanks to La Plagne’s excellent ski lift network. The plateaus in this ski area are great for beginners, but there are still plenty of challenging slopes for experienced skiers. A La Plagne ski pass will be included with your Sunweb ski package, giving you 225km of piste to explore. Do you want more? You can expand your ski pass to include both La Plagne and Les Arcs with Paradiski Illimite: that’s 425km of piste in total!

After a day out in the mountains, there’s no better feeling than coming home to your own cosy hotel, apartment, or chalet. How about an all-inclusive hotel, where you can indulge in luxury and relaxation 24/7? Maybe you’d prefer a ski-in, ski-out apartment right by the slopes?
