Summer at Chalet Dakota: Serenity and Adventure in Tarentaise

As the snow gives way to lush green pastures, Chalet Dakota transforms into a strategic refuge for exploring the sun-drenched side of La Plagne. At 1,800 meters altitude, the crisp alpine air provides a striking contrast to the heat of the valleys, creating the perfect setting for a nature-filled immersion.

Far from the winter bustle described in our dedicated skiing pages, summer at the chalet is an invitation to slow down or push your limits. Whether you are here for the sporting challenge of the peaks or to savor the Savoyard "art de vivre," the Dakota Experience comes to life amidst the larches and unobstructed panoramas of Mont Blanc.

For prestigious large-scale mountain accommodation, trust the expertise and savoir-faire of the Dakota team.

1. Hiking & Walks: From Forest Trails to Alpine Ridges

Starting from Plagne 1800 offers a remarkable diversity of itineraries. For a gentle family warm-up, the themed trail toward La Roche leads you through the forest, retracing the history of ancient silver-lead mines. More seasoned hikers will aim for Dou du Praz for its balcony plateau or the ascent of Mont Jovet, a masterful viewpoint overlooking the Vanoise glaciers and the Three Valleys.

DID YOU KNOW?

Hiking is one of our family passions. It’s a time to disconnect, walk together, talk... in short, to reconnect. Every year, we head off for 5 to 7 days of family trekking (Mont Blanc, Queyras, Dolomites, ...).

2. MTB & Bike Park: An Alpine Reference

With the opening of the ski lifts in summer, La Plagne becomes one of the most sought-after destinations for mountain biking. The Bike Park offers downhill (DH) tracks ranging from beginner discovery to expert levels in the Colorado and Bergerie sectors. However, the true highlight lies in the Enduro itineraries and the loops accessible by E-MTB (Electric Mountain Biking), allowing you to connect the different resort villages without exhausting your reserves, all while enjoying playful and technical flow trails.

Did you know?

The terrain of La Plagne offers a versatile playground tailored to your level of adventure: Downhill (DH) for those seeking technical riding in the bike park, Enduro for exploring wilder natural trails—most often carved into the mountainside—and E-MTB (Electric Mountain Biking). This last discipline is a firm favorite among our guests, as it makes high-altitude ridges accessible to everyone, transforming our mountain slopes into an effortless panoramic stroll.

3. Vertical Thrills and Whitewater Refreshment

Summer in the mountains is not limited to trails and MTB descents. For thrill-seekers, the Via Ferrata des Bourtes offers a spectacular aerial course. Down in the valley, the Aime-La-Plagne leisure base serves as the perfect base camp for taking on the rapids of the Isère river in rafting or hydrospeed.
