La Plagne - Après-ski

The larger altitude resorts, particularly Plagne Centre, tend to be the liveliest for après-ski, but traditional villages such as Montalbert also have an increasing number of bars and restaurants for après-ski, which can get busy with British and Irish guests, who tend to eat out when French guests prefer to eat in their apartments. Each resort has at least one lively night spot.

Monica's Pub, Plagne Soleil, employs a DJ on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. La Mine, Plagne 1800, is on the site of an old lead mine, the bar's décor reflecting the atmosphere of the period with wagons, rails and tools. Le Cozy Bar, Plagne Bellecôte, is run by Sandra Laoura and her family; she won a bronze medal at the Turin Winter Olympics in 2006.
 

Eating out: 

There are nearly 100 restaurants in La Plagne spread around the area. Most are traditional French establishments but there are several pizzerias, a number of Mexican outlets and a rare Moroccan choice.

Le Trappeur's, Montalbert (tel: 04 7909 7764), has wonderful ambience and good traditional French food, thanks to the dedication of husband and wife team Vanessa and Rossario. L'Arlequin, Bâtiment Aime 2000 (tel: 04 7909 0529), also has a great atmosphere and a reputation for gourmet Italian food as well as other dining options.
