Other activities available in the resort include tobagganing, skido driving and bobsleigh to name a few. Night life is centred around restaurants and bars, for the time we stayed it was quiet at night. Very family...

The skating rink and the outdoor pool heated to 29° with spa are facilities that are highly...

Bellecote lift pass office is small and understaffed - more automated machines required. Queues most of the day.

La Plagne has lots of villages spread over the mountain which means lots of people everywhere you go - with queues to match, particularly in Bellecote (all the time).

Fussy review but trying to be...
