With its instantly recognisable red bobble hat and sunglasses logo, La Plagne is a long-time favourite for British skiers and riders thanks to its variety of friendly runs. A purpose-built resort situated at 1,800m, it gives access to 425km of the Paradiski area. Families and beginners will love the steady groomers around its five villages while there’s plenty of terrain to explore for the ambitious, from tree-lined runs to open bowls. For the committed, it’s possible to take the double-decker cable car all the way to Les Arcs – just make sure you don’t get stuck there as it’s a long drive back.
