The resort

A resort of villages, with a bobsleigh track

It all began in 1961 with Plagne Centre. The other villages followed, both up high and down in the valleys.

La Plagne hosted the bobsleigh and luge events of the 1992 Olympic Games. It is the only French resort with an Olympic bobsleigh track.

With Les Arcs it forms the Paradiski area, about 425 km of runs. Staying on the other side? See the Lyon Airport → Les Arcs taxi.
