Discover Plagne 1800 in the Heart of Paradiski
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.
Catered Ski Chalet Holidays in La Plagne
La Plagne is made up of 11 charming villages, each offering something unique to enhance your ski holiday. From lively Après-ski spots to quiet, scenic corners perfect for families, every village has its own character. A La Plagne ski holiday is bursting with an abundance of activities on and off the piste. You can spend your days exploring over 425 km of linked slopes, trying ice skating, or simply soak up the sunshine at one of the many piste-side restaurants!
All our ski holidays are fully catered, so you can relax and enjoy every moment. Breakfasts, afternoon teas and cakes, evening meals, and wine are all included, meaning you can focus on the skiing, the scenery, and the memories you’re creating, without any of the stress of meal planning.
The Villages of La Plagne
La Plagne is not one village but eleven, strung between 1,250m and 2,100m. Plagne Centre, the original 1961 resort, has the widest choice of shops and services. Belle Plagne and Plagne 1800 are the prettiest, built in traditional chalet style, while Plagne Aime 2000 is a convenient, laid-back base popular with families. Lower down, tree-lined Montchavin, Les Coches and Montalbert give sheltered skiing on stormy days, and Champagny-en-Vanoise faces the Vanoise National Park on the sunny side of the hill.
Our chalets, Grand Chardon and Petit Chardon, sit in Plagne 1800, a former mining village that is now the quiet, wooded corner of the resort. You are a short walk from the piste and two chairlifts, one lift from Plagne Centre, and the whole Paradiski area opens up from there.

La Plagne is a true snow-lover’s paradise, renowned for its reliable high-altitude conditions. Each season, the resort typically receives around 6 metres of snowfall at 2,000 m, with exceptional years topping 9 metres, ensuring excellent coverage across its vast ski area.
Snowfall is most abundant in mid-winter, building a solid base of over 2 metres on the upper slopes, and conditions often remain superb well into spring. From the first lifts in December to the final runs after Easter, La Plagne’s north-facing and high-altitude pistes consistently offer top-quality snow for skiers and snowboarders of all levels.
La Plagne is far more than its pistes, and a rest day here is easy to fill. Here are some favourites, and our team will happily point you in the right direction when you book.
Olympic Bobsleigh
La Plagne’s bobsleigh track is the only one in France, built for the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics. Riding it is an unforgettable experience; ask our chalet team about the current descent options when you book.
Ice Grotto on the Glacier
Take the lift towards the Bellecôte glacier to walk through a grotto of sculptures carved from snow and ice, a favourite with children and photographers alike.
Vanoise Express
Not strictly an activity, but the double-decker cable car linking La Plagne to Les Arcs is a ride worth taking for its own sake, with huge views as it crosses the valley.
