Ski La Plagne, Stay Les Drus!
Review Submitted: February 25, 2009
Date of Stay: February 2009
La Plagne is an excellent resort for families and skiers of all abilities, as we found out, this week, being my 8 year old daughters first time on skis.
The area is vast, you won't do it all in a week.
We chose this apartment for its proximity to the slopes and that of the ski school meeting point. Both are outside your door, making life with kids very easy, without the need to make a special journey, worth its weight in gold as a parent!
Similarly the hire shops, lift pass office, and Ski School office are all outside the block opposite about 50 metres away max.
The apartment is well looked after, clean, tidy, and essentially warm with the heating adjustable. It's well equiped, everything works, and again of value to us was the entertainment by way of TV/DVD/VHS, etc, along with masses of films to watch should you wish.
The beds are comfortable, and the new sofa bed makes a great double or single bed, it's big, not the normal two or three seater type.
The Dishwasher is a handy extra.
Nice views from the balcony, and again a small point, but its proximity to the main lift is great, only 20 or 30 feet away, as if you take as much stuff as we did, it makes loading or unloading easy!
The girls loved it here, so much so we have booked again already. We are a family of 5, with three kids aged 8 to 3, the apartment is big enough to accomodate us all.
Below the block is a well equiped Spar shop, it's not cheap, but its got the lot. We took our own food, and used it for odds and ends, get there early after 8 am for fresh Croissants, they go fast!
Didn't use the restaurants so can't comment, but again right below the block there are plenty.
Plagne Soleil is just perfectly situated, being left of the resort, and high, which means quick access towards the Vanoise link to Les Arcs if you wish.
Booking on line with the French Ski school,is easy to do, and best of all outside your door on arrival. The beginers slope is within view, by mid week my 8 year old was on mid mountain blue runs!
The owners of this apartment John and Donna are pleasent to deal with, helpful with advice and tips for the journey or area.
The in resort reps Bob and Mo again, very helpful, making arrival an easy event.
We drove here, by far the easiest and cheapest option for us, the resort roads are easy to deal with, and parking a plenty.
All in all a great week, looking forward to next year already.
