Resort
Large ski area suitable for all abilities in La Plagne
La Plagne is one of the most popular ski resorts in France and is made up of ten traditional and purpose-built villages. We have chosen one of the original mountain villages, Montchavin, because of its suitability for school groups, its value for money and the character and charm of its buildings and surroundings.
La Plagne is a very large ski area in its own right and your valley pass will include the entire 225km La Plagne region. For school groups or teachers who want to go further afield, La Plagne is also seamlessly linked to Les Arc, via the magnificent Vanoise Express double-decker cable car, to form the world-renowned Paradski ski area. La Plagne is also a favourite for school groups travelling in the Easter holidays as the glacier ensures great skiing all through the season.
- Massive ski area with glacier for all-season skiing
- Charming, traditional-style accommodation
- Fantastic value for money
Accommodation
Tsaretta
- The Tsaretta is a typical property of the region, constructed of ancient stone, with a traditional dining room, cosy open fire, terrace and plenty of home comforts.
- There are 26 bedrooms, all ensuite, with two to four sharing per room. The accommodation is also well equipped for school groups with two games rooms with table tennis and table football and communal seating areas.
- The Tsaretta is 900m from the Montchavin lift and ski school so a very short coach or ski-bus ride is needed. It is often possible to rent ski lockers by the lift to save taking them to and from the accommodation.
- Facilities include a restaurant, bar, games rooms, common areas and free wi-fi.
- Full board with a picnic lunch taken on the slopes.
Après ski
Ice skating
We can organise an evening ice skating session for your school group – the most classic of winter holiday activities.
