The collection of 70 apartments range from one to four bedrooms, with 28 available for outright purchase, ranging in size from 42 m² to 105 m². Located on the slopes, the apartment balconies offer elevated panoramic vistas of the surrounding valley and Mont Blanc. Prices start at €233,000 for a one-bedroom apartment.

La Plagne is known for being family-friendly, with an excellent atmosphere, where children can experience the joy of learning to ski. The resort sits at an altitude of 2000m with 225km of marked runs catering for all abilities including, 18 black, 33 red, 69 blue and 10 green. The area is ideal for families offering plenty of wide and gentle slopes. For experts, a challenging array of 1000m descents and extensive off-pistes are available.
