La Plagne 1800 (1800 metres)
 |
Ski chalets in la Plagne are mainly found in Plagne 1800 rather than other high altitude la Plagne villages. La Plagne 1800 provides a great centre for a family ski holiday. Luxury ski chalets can be found in the wooded area just above the village; cheaper ski chalets are found closer to the centre of Plagne 1800. A number of new luxury ski chalets are right next to the Plagne 1800 chairlift including Chalet Pierra Menta, Chalet Mont Blanc and Chalet Sorbier (see below). One of the nice things about Plagne 1800 is that none of the apartment buildings are higher than about five floors and even these are built against the mountain to reduce their visual impact. |

Plagne 1800 caters well for most disabled skiers and their families, both for ski accommodation (wheelchair access is unavailable) and disability ski tuition.
