The Dakota Experience: Tailored Support to Prepare for Your Arrival

That is why we do more than just provide an address: we work with you to identify the smoothest travel solution, tailored to your group size and your requirements for comfort.

Whether you are arriving by air, rail, or road, our role as expert owners is to guide you towards the most reliable providers in the Paradiski area, ensuring a seamless transition between the Tarentaise valley and your retreat at 1800m.

How to get access to la Plagne and Chalet Dakota ? 

By car

Take the A43 Alps motorway to Albertville - RN90 (2 * 2 lanes) to Aime-La-Plagne then Route de la Plagne (D221) to the "Bellecôte roundabout" serving either Plagne Centre, or Plagne Bellecôte. Then head towards Plagne Centre and after 20 m, turn right towards the dead end. The chalet is approximately 200 m further down on your left.

  • 6 hours and 30 mins from Paris

  • 2 hours and 30 mins from Lyon

  • 4 hours and 30 mins from Marseille

  • 8 hours and 30 mins from Lille

  • 7 hours from Bordeaux.

The chalet has a private parking space in front of the chalet, but there are public covered and outdoor car parks in the immediate vicinity of the chalet (refer to map of Plagne 1800 ski resort). Our chalet is close to shops, allowing you to avoid using your car throughout the week.

By train

The Aime-Macôt-La-Plagne train station is located in the Tarentaise valley, in the heart of the Alps, only 15 km from the chalet. Schedule your transfer from the station to the chalet by taxi (around 25 min) or shuttle (around 45 min). By shuttle bus from the station, ask for the "Rond-Point de Bellecôte" stop, just above Plagne 1800 and take the small tarmac dead end for about 200m. The chalet will be on your left.
