2. Between the Puy du Fou and Capella slopes: Picnic in an enchanting setting
For a more authentic experience, I recommend the spot between the Puy du Fou and Capella slopes, just above the chalets of Plagne Centre. This place is surrounded by snow-capped canyons and pine trees, creating a peaceful atmosphere and a perfect setting for a mountain picnic. This place allows you to escape and enjoy a quiet moment before hitting the slopes again.
3. Dou du Praz: a picnic spot in La Plagne for the whole family
Finally, for a family experience, the walk leading to Dou du Praz is ideal. This easy 4 km route on foot from Plagne Village offers picnic tables at the summit and clear views of the Alpine peaks. It’s a perfect place for skiers and non-skiers to meet for lunch. Skiers will have to take the small “Dou du Praz” lift to join their pedestrian friends.
4. Under the Rossa chairlift: An easily accessible lunch at altitude
In the Champany sector, under the Rossa chairlift, you will find a sunny natural area right next to a sheepfold, perfect for a picnic. This spot is located between the Rossa and Sérac slopes, and allows skiers to stop at altitude to enjoy a meal with a view. It’s one of my favorite places for a relaxed break surrounded by nature.
5. The red slope “Sources”: Lunch break in the snow with a nice panorama
Along the red Sources slope, linking Roche de Mio to Belle Plagne, you will find several sunny rocks which are perfect for a lunch break. These spots allow you to picnic while enjoying an exceptional panorama of the valley. Experienced skiers will appreciate this place for its calm and magnificent view.
