Belle Plagne

Belle Plagne, a high-altitude resort within the La Plagne ski area in Savoie, stands out for its direct access to the Bellecôte glacier, whose snow quality and sweeping views draw both skiers and hikers, although its opening season remains limited. The Arpette chairlift serves the Fun Slope, a favourite with families, while Roche de Mio offers a standout viewpoint over the surrounding peaks, including the Aiguille Rouge. The Vallandry forest, more wooded in character, is ideal for quieter walks. Beyond skiing, the resort offers electric bike outings up towards the glacier, suitable even for less sporty visitors, along with a zip line run by local operators. Those after gentler thrills can enjoy sledge rides, a classic winter activity in the area. For a bite to eat, La Face Nord restaurant is a well-regarded option up on the slopes. Combining hiking, skiing and high-altitude relaxation, Belle Plagne serves as a well-rounded base for exploring the La Plagne ski area and its alpine scenery throughout the year.
