Fabulous location, apartments and ski runs. Shops, bars and restaurants excellent. Been coming here since they were built over 40 years ago. Mr Berard’s ski shop is legendary and you must visit La Spatule at Plagne Villages for a divine pizza.

Excellent stay, the welcome at the establishment was excellent. The location is magnificent and convenient.
The accommodation was slightly small; an extra bedroom would have been appreciated to avoid those who wake up very early in the morning disturbing the others!
Top-notch residence, literally at the foot of the slopes, offering true comfort for skiing. The apartments have been partially renovated (kitchen and bathroom). Shops are also nearby, eliminating the need for long walks in the snow. A major plus is the underground parking garage.
The block layout is very poor! Especially with a baby, the main entrance has stairs up and down so the main entrance was rarely used. If you have a baby stroller and or wheel chair, it’s better to use the car park entrance given this is step free and use the lift to access the resort which is to the right of the car park entrance as you exit the car park.
The accommodation was ok, you need to make the bed so be aware. The blankets are just fleece blankets and I am not sure how often they are washed given you are not request to put these fleece blankets in the laundry bad!!
You do have 3 portable radiators in the flat which helped with the cold but we were unable to power all 3 at once without the fuse box tripping.
It does appear the pierre vacances is going through and updating the apartments, our kitchen was pretty much brand new as well as the bathroom.
However, the build quality is quite poor, the front door has a constant draft and thus can be noisy.
Reception is miles away, I don’t actually understand why Pierre Vacances doesn’t go keyless, the reception is 200 metres away and is only open part time, this not very useful or helpful.
Also the internal corridors do not have motion sensors for the lights, so remember to turn on the light when you enter a corridor and don’t accidentally press the door bell for a different apartment.
The Ski lockers are pretty basic and can get crowded, thus i would recommend you put on your ski boots at the apartment and only leaves skis/poles in the ski locker. Luckily, we had an apartment with direct slope access so we never used the locker. Also, the lockers are not heated thus if you want dry and warm boots, you will need to bring your own!
Location is great, access to the slopes is great. Pierre Vacances has a great product it’s just lacking in the execution.
The resort is great for families, just be aware the resort is small and things can be cheaper in Plagne Bellecot.
