La Plagne Winter Activity Holidays
Get more from your holiday
Fancy a day away from the slopes? Want to spend the day in a spa? Need a fun activity for the whole family? Looking for un-tracked powder or heli-ski? If so, read on.....we can arrange a huge variety of activities and still get you back to the chalet in time for your sumptuous dinner!
Mountain hosting
We love skiing and snowboarding with our guests and offer two days, free, on-piste hosting per week. This is available for all skiers and snowboarders who can ski a red run with confidence, but if your group is all at the same standard we can plan a day out to suit you.
Back country mountain guiding
Paradiski offers some amazing off piste skiing. Steep chutes, tree runs and powder bowls are everywhere. Looking to hit un-tracked powder a day after it has snowed? Want to explore off-piste areas where you don't see another soul? If you are not trained in mountain safety and don't know the Paradiski off-piste we strongly recommend you consider a day with a trained guide. You will get more miles of the kind of skiing you love, see areas that only locals know about and be safe whilst doing it. All safety equipment is provided, your own ski video is optional and for those wishing to take it even more seriously, survival and alpinist qualifications are available.
Heliskiing
This really is the experience of a lifetime. The best powder on offer, nobody else in sight and a helicopter flight over some of the most amazing peaks in the world.....you will never forget your first heli-ski and it won't be long until you are booking your second! We are fortunate that the helicopters take off from a nearby airfield, just over the border in Italy, and you then ski back into France through virgin powder. The hardest decision to make is how many times you want to go back up!
Telemark
Telemark is gaining popularity all the time and if you're looking for a real challenge, this could be it. It's pretty darn tough!
Cross country skiing
Want a slower pace of skiing, through beautiful mountain scenery, in total peace and quiet? We have 153km of cross country skiing tracks for you to explore, if you have the strength in the legs to complete it!
Snowshoeing
The worlds quickest growing snowsport allows you to experience the mountain but with a lot less off-piste skiing skill or effort. It's like wearing small tennis rackets on your feet, allowing you to float on snow that you would otherwise sink into. Great for 'hiking' and increasingly used by skiiers looking to get to snow that nobody else has touched.
Helicopter, twin seater and Microlight flights
Looking to arrive in style? We can also arrange helicopter transfers for you. Fancy flying like a bird, riding the thermals above the slopes? Try a new style of flying and feel the mountain air rush around you.
Bobsleigh
La Plagne hosted the Bobsleigh in the Olympics. You might not travel at the speed of the Olympians but you will get to experience massive G-force, steering the sled and the rush of a lifetime.
Ice driving
Experience the thrill of being a pillion passenger as one of Frances top rally drivers thrashes around an ice course. The closest thing to a funfair ride in the Alps. Alternatively learn how to drive BMW's or Subaru's with studded tyres on sheet ice. Very James Bond.
Massage & Physiotherapy
After all this additional exercise and vigorous activity, you may well be ready for a relaxing massage or even a spot of physiotherapy! 'Massage Me' is a mobile, prebookable massage service who will visit you in your chalet. Please go here
, or call +33 (0)612653452 for more info. They have many different treatments available and are worth every penny. There is a local "Cabinet de kine" if you need one for any of those recurring, or even new, pains!
More please.....
Go ice go-karting or take ice driving lessons, build up enough confidence to be a passenger while a French Rally Driving Champion slides you around the track at break-neck speed, or how about a jaunt in an acrobatic airplane or microlight or parapont?
