Today marks the opening of
La Plagne, one of France’s most popular ski resorts. Along with
Les Arcs, La Plagne forms part of the
Paradiski
area, the most-visited ski area in the world. Paradiski offers a diverse range of skiing for all levels on 425km of slopes and 3 glaciers. The ski area tends to enjoy excellent snow conditions, and this year is no exception! Having just received a dump of fresh snow, La Plagne is ready to start off the ski season with a bang. If you’re there this weekend, check out the final few days of the European IBSF Bob & Skeleton Cup, held on the former Olympic bobsleigh track.
Just in time for the season opening, the ski area received 35cm of fresh snow yesterday morning and 10cm more last night. The glacier snow base at La Plagne is currently 270cm, with a base of 110cm at the mid-station. You can expect temperatures to be hovering around -10°C at the mid-station and around -15°C on the glacier.
A huge and varied ski resort, La Plagne is good for beginners and experts alike. Beautiful tree-lined runs, snow parks, off-piste, glacier skiing and many kilometres of cross-country trails offer something for everyone. La Plagne has a lively après-ski scene and plenty of alternate activities to explore, as well as a full event calendar. Click here for more information about La Plagne.

Born and raised in the ski paradise of Vancouver, Canada, I learned to ski before I can remember, balancing precariously on my parents’ skis as they sailed down the hill. I started snowboarding in my teens and am now delighted to be exploring everything Europe’s ski scene has to offer!
