Do you fancy yourself as a seasoned skier? Looking for new winter sports activity to mix things up? Well then, cross-country skiing might be just the ticket. La Plagne is a beautiful resort in the alpine valley of the Tarentaise, and a popular location for cross country skiers thanks to its specialised and excellently maintained tracks. Once you’ve settled into a luxurious La Plagne Chalet, you’ll be free to roam the pistes and discover the region’s natural beauty. For the Adventurers: Vallee de Bellecôte You’ll need a car to access the Valle de Bellecôte but, my word, it’s worth it. If you’re bringing your vehicle with you, or have the opportunity to rent one, it’s well worth planning an afternoon trip to this stunning valley. Separating La Plagne from Les Arcs, the Valle de Bellecôte is prime cross-country skiing territory. For the best experience possible, drive to Peisey-Nancroix where you’ll find plentiful ski trails, equipment hire and the all-important clubhouse and café. Just check the weather before heading off as the area is renowned for its avalanches! For guaranteed snow cover: Montchavin If you’re looking for a guaranteed blanket of perfect snow cover then there’s no better place to go cross country skiing than Montchavin. The track here lies at an altitude of approximately 2000m – perfect for guaranteed snow cover. Here you’ll find the Champagny track, which is the longest and most demanding trail in La Plagne. The trail runs all the way around the mountain, offering the most magnificent views. Exhausted after your outing, you’ll be just a stone’s throw away from your relaxing La Plagne Chalet where you can sit back, relax, and remember the day’s fun. The Gentle Route: Montalbert & Plagne Soleil Those looking for something of an altogether more relaxed pace should look no further than the trails around Montalbert and Plagne Soleil. These routes are equally beautiful but a little bit gentler. The trails in Montalbert, specifically, are smaller circuits designed for beginner cross country skiers. If you’re just looking for a gentle ski, or you’d like to get some practice in before hitting the harder trails, then Montalbert is perfect. Shorter routes can be found in the downhill ski area of Plagne Soleil, offering equally easy trails – perfect for a relaxing morning in the snow. Cross-country skiing is a great way to explore breathtaking scenery at a more leisurely pace than the traditional downhill option. If you’re planning your next winter getaway, but want to mix things up a bit, why not give it a try? There are many fantastic cross country trails in the La Plagne area offering guaranteed snow cover and magnificent views. If one thing’s for sure, there’s nothing better than a day in the snow, followed by a cosy night in at your very own delightful La Plagne Chalet.
