Getting around guide

From Belle Plagne to Plagne Bellecôte there is no bus service, but a cable car that runs from 08:00 until 01:45.

The two main free buses are the red and blue lines:

Red: A loop from Plagne Bellecôte heading to Plagne Centre then to Plagne 1800. It runs every 15 minutes from 08:30 until 00:50.

Blue: Charmettes, La Roche to Plagne connects with Aime 2000. It's open from 06:00 until 00:30 and runs once an hour.

Between Plagne Villages and Plagne Soleil there is both a bus service and the télébus, depending on the time of day. 

If you wish to head down to the bobsleigh, you can either head down on your skis or snowboards via La Roche piste or there is a free bus service that leaves from Plagne Centre and runs every 30 minutes.

All of the bus timetables are available from the tourist information office and above, and there are also timetables at all of the bus stops.

After the bus service stops, if you are planning on heading out after hours and need transport home, it is best to pre-book a taxi, to avoid a long wait, if not you could have a chilly walk home in the snow.

Whilst we wouldn't especially recommend jumping on a bike in the winter season, in the summer the resort is a haven for all levels of mountain bikers who happily ride around the 145km of dedicated MTB trails. The trails often involve a bit of uphill pedalling so it's more likely you'll see hard tail bikes and enduro riders than in some of the more well established biking resorts.

For road cyclists there are plenty of routes up horribly steep hills to conquer. You can find out more here.

Well with skis or a snowboard beneath them…

Heading over to Les Arcs on skis is super easy on skis, if you are leaving from Plagne Centre you head up the Bergerie chairlift, then ski down into Plagne Bellecôte. From here you take the Arpette chair, from the top of the Arpette you can then ski down Montchavin and Les Coches, which is where you take the connection to Les Arcs via the Vanoise Express cable car. 

Once in Les Arcs, remember to check the closing times of the lifts and cable cars to return to La Plagne, if you miss these a taxi can end up being pretty expensive.
