Tucked among snow-dusted pine trees, Plagne 1800 is a charming village nestled into the heart of the iconic Paradiski ski area. Once a former mining village, it now offers a peaceful base with quick access to 425km of skiing. La Plagne is ideal for families and beginners, as well as life long skiers with its mixture of cruisy blues and glacier black runs.
Chalet Petit Chardon sits at 1800m and is just a short walk from the piste and two chairlifts. One lift gives you easy access to Plagne Centre and Bellecote, whilst the other offers access to Aime 2000 and Montalbert.
You can also explore the full extent of the Paradiski ski area by taking the Vanoise Express and heading over to Peisey-Vallandry and Les Arcs.
La Plagne is made up of 11 small villages, all of which have something unique to enhance your ski holiday. A La Plagne ski holiday is bursting with an abundance of activities on and off the piste. You’ll be able to fill your week with incredible skiing, unbeatable apres-ski parties or relax in the sunshine at one of the many piste-side restaurants.
All our ski holidays are catered, so when you go for a ski holiday in La Plagne, your breakfasts, afternoon teas and cakes, evening meals and wine will be included.

La Plagne is a firm favourite for good reason. As part of the vast Paradiski area, it offers over 400km of linked pistes with incredible variety and high-altitude snow reliability. Our chalets in Plagne 1800 are tucked in a peaceful corner of the resort, with direct access to the slopes and just one lift away from the main La Plagne hub at Plagne Centre. From here, you can easily explore the wider area, including the dramatic Bellecôte glacier and the tree-lined runs of Montchavin and Les Coches.
Plagne 1800 itself was built to reflect traditional alpine architecture, with charming wood-clad chalets nestled among the trees. There are lovely views across the valley, and you’re just steps from a blue run that connects you to the rest of the La Plagne area.
Right in Plagne 1800, you’ll find a couple of friendly local restaurants, including a rustic mountain lodge serving hearty Savoyard dishes. There’s also a small supermarket nearby, with a wider range of shops, bars and cafés in Plagne Centre just a short bus ride away.
La Plagne’s skiing caters to every level – from gentle beginner slopes and wide cruisy blues, to steep reds, thrilling blacks, and plenty of off-piste for the adventurous. Whether you’re here to build confidence or chase powder, La Plagne delivers the goods.
All of our chalet packages include our London Heathrow to Lyon flights along with airport transfers by coach. The transfer from Lyon airport to La Plagne is approximately 2hrs 45mins.
For guests wishing to travel by train, the nearest station is Aime La Plagne. A transfer from Aime La Plagne to Plagne 1800 takes approximately 30 minutes.
Driving to La Plagne is another option and we are able to supply detailed directions. The driving time from Calais is around 10 hours. We recommend Eurotunnel FlexiPlus** service that gives greater flexibility and avoids boarding queues.
The skiing in Plagne 1800, La Plagne and the wider Paradiski area is nothing short of amazing. Few destinations around the world can offer such a wide diversity of terrain and pistes, whilst also providing the opportunity to visit another reosrt in the same day. There are stunning views around every corner, wide and gentle pistes, challenging off piste and snow parks. It’s a mountain paradise.
Figures quoted are for the Paradiski area as a whole.
As you would expect from a snow sure and high altitude resort, the La Plagne snow record is brilliant
Average annual snowfall is in excess of 5m and it usually falls over around 45 snow days.
Quality and cover are generally very good from the start to the end of the season.
Claire Harris2025-04-19 Just returned from the most fabulous week in Tignes staying at Chalet Isabelle. As a family group of 10 this Chalet accommodated us perfectly, with 5 en-suite bedrooms, fantastic dining/lounge area with snug, hot tub room and adjoining ski/boot room, all made for a very comfortable stay. We were very lucky to have the wonderful Joe as our Chalet host. If I could rate higher than 5 stars just for Joe I would! What an amazing young man! 5* service from the minute we arrived - we arrived to the best coffee and walnut cake prepared for us and everything just got better and better as the week went on - hosting skills just excellent and always great company, making our stay extra memorable! The Chalet is in a great location - piste can be accessed opposite and if beginners, for ski school the bus stop just outside, just one stop gets you there. It was unreal to have experienced a late season snow storm whilst there too - over 1.5m of snow in 24hrs, the resort completely closed and all roads blocked! But everything opened the next day and the pistes were awesome! So thank you Ski Vertigo and in particular the amazing Joe for making our family trip so memorable ❤️🤩 Sian Manning2025-04-03 We have booked with Ski Vertigo and Ski Famille many times and have never been disappointed. This time we stayed at Chalet Isobelle in Tignes Le Lavachet. The day before our flight Heathrow was closed. Thankyou to the team at Ski Vertigo we still got to our destination and had a great week in a beautiful chalet with superb food and great hosting. Vicky Justice2025-04-03 Can’t recommend enough! Chalet staff were fantastic, so friendly, warm, and food was excessive and delicious. Wonderful chalets, great location and had an amazing time. Gren Dilks2025-03-31 Booking process was straightforward and all questions addressed. Dealing with someone by phone added a lot of clarity on what to expect and to tailor the holiday more closely to my requirements. Dan Hughes2025-03-29 Fantastic team, takes the stress out of ski holiday. Claire Harrison2025-03-24 The dream location with the dream team! We just arrived home from the best weeks stay at Chalet Sapin with our party of 11. We were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived. The chalet is in a fab location, ski in ski out, right beside esf ski school & with lots of space for our teenage crew to spread out! Wonderfully comfy beds, pristine facilities, stunning food & the best hosts we could have wished for. Shout out to Aurelia, Izzy & Alice. It really was a dream week in the sun & snow. Thank you ski vertigo, we will see you next year! Simon Goodwin2025-03-21 Incredibly helpful and friendly customer services during booking process along with great value ski package. Can’t wait for January! julie smith2025-03-18 Perfect place to stay Sam F2025-03-18 The entire team at ski vertigo was amazing! Truly top notch service from a welcoming chalet staff that felt like family. We stayed at Chalet Vega over NYE and we are still talking about our trip 3 months later. Our group visited from Texas, and this was unlike any experience you can find in the states. Will be back for sure! Special shoutout to Dave, Georgia and Ben for taking great care of us. Dave even went toe-to-toe with the manager at British Airways to get us on a different flight after finding out our departure flight was delayed and we were in jeopardy of missing our connection. Absolute over the top service until the moment we left France. Can't thank you guys enough! Hope to see you again soon!
