Pedestrian pass for the ski lifts

The lifts provide access to walking trails and mountain restaurants, so is ideal whether you fancy a quiet walk or a meet up with your friends and family for lunch!

Dog-sledding

Fancy being pulled across the snow by huskies!? 🐾 Choose between riding alone or with company, and explore the Dou du Praz by sled, departing from Plagne Villages.  You will be comfortably seated on reindeer pelts and guided by a professional musher in a large cross-country sled pulled by 7 to 10 Greenland dogs.

Skidoo rentals

Snowmobiling offers an unforgettable experience whether you are an expert or a beginner, driving high-quality and comfortable skidoos, under the supervision of experienced guides. Various evening departure times available after the pistes close. Don’t forget your goggles if there’s powder snow!

Ice skating

Take to the outdoor ice rink ⛸️ in Plagne centre (just jump on the free bus from Plagne 1800), or head a little further afield to Plagne Bellecôte where there is a natural floodlit rink set just above the main building near the foot of the Roche de Mio gondola.  Skating aids available to hire for littler ones at both rinks; Bellecôte offers a special area reserved just for beginners.

Visit the Ice Grotto

If you fancy heading up to the highest heights, meet your skiing friends and family at the top of the Plagne Bellecôte glacier (3,417 metres) to visit the Ice Grotto.  Each winter the cave is re-sculpted with carved ice sculptures of various animals and statues, showing in beautiful hues of blues and greens.

Luge

Located at the Colorado ski lift on the snow front in Plagne Centre, the Colorado luge 🛷 is a mile-long sledge run with the most spectacular Mont Blanc views!

Olympic bobsleigh run

If you fancy picking up some speed, make sure you try our the Olympic Bobsleigh run.  Options include riding solo on the speed luge, in a group of 4 in the Bob Raft (a self-driving, self-braking bobsleigh!) or in a competition worthy bobsleigh at speeds of up to 120km/hr with your own professional driver.

Tandem paragliding

Book a tandem paragliding flight and take to the skies for a bird’s eye view of the mountains!
