Mastering Paradiski: Local Expertise at the Heart of Your Stay
The true value of a stay with us lies in our intimate knowledge of the terrain. Paradiski is a vast domain that requires local secrets to be fully savoured and explored to its potential.
For skiers wishing to perfect their technique or safely discover the "Natura" off-piste zones, we highly recommend booking through the La Plagne ski schools. Their guides know every hidden corner of the resort, from the technical Arpette couloirs to the secret slopes of the Montalbert sector.
Finally, a day of "Grand Ski" is never complete without a gourmet stop. The domain is home to hidden gems accessible directly on skis. Discover our selection of the best mountain restaurants in Paradiski to recharge your batteries facing Mont-Blanc before resuming your journey toward Les Arcs.
The secret is to take a free shuttle at 8:50 am to Plagne Bellecote and be there when the Bergerie chairlift opens... you'll be in the Les Arcs area at 9:20 am!
Frequently asked questions about your Paradiski chalet rental

Plagne 1800, known as "the nest of La Plagne", is popular for its peace and quiet and traditional wood and stone architecture. Unlike more urban resorts, it offers an authentic experience while ensuring quick access to the Paradiski area via the Mélèzes or Plagne 1800 chairlifts. Furthermore, Plagne 1800 is only a twenty-minute walk from Plagne Centre via a scenic forest path.

Absolutely. Paradiski offers a rare variety: protected zones for beginners (notably the Cool Ski runs), wide forest boulevards for lovely family skis, many challenging runs (especially on Becoin or the Glacier), and an exceptional off-piste area for experts. 70% of the ski area is situated above 2000m, guaranteeing optimal snow cover all season.
