La Plagne Montalbert is one of 10 villages that make up the La Plagne ski area. Tree lined pistes hold the snow until late in the season and a network of snow cannions ensures slopes are skiable right down to the village at all times. A network of interconnecting chair lifts allows access to the topmost resorts and the Vanoise Express cable car takes you across the valley to enjoy the Les Arcs ski areas. Floodlit night skiing on one of the Montalbert slopes is arranged 1 night per week. There are several cross country tracks/trails around Montalbert. Snowboarders are also well catered for in the La Plagne/Paradiski area. Other activities include dog sleighing.
Montalbert remains a traditional (unlike many purpose built French resorts of the 1970's which contain ugly apartment blocks) friendly village which is extremely suitable for children. It offers all the ingredients needed to make for an enjoyable hasslefree skiing holiday.
