Plagne Montalbert is situated at the extreme Western end of the ski area. It is a lower lying and much more traditional village compared to the other purpose built resorts of the area. However, at 1350 metres altitude the snow does not really last through to the very end of the winter season. Although the skiing on the upper slopes of La Plagne is fine through to mid/end April the run back down to Montalbert is likely to be on artificial snow only at this time of year.
Staying in Montalbert is a great value way to ski one of the largest ski areas of the world. However, due to its position and altitude it takes at least 4 rather slow lifts to get into the ski area proper. Fine for families looking for quiet slopes but a tad frustrating for the high mileage piste munching type of skier.

Mountain Restaurants
Mountain Restaurants in La Plagne are generally good value for money and many have fantastic views of the Vanoise National Park or the Tarentaise Valley, and only get really busy during Peak weeks. For stunning views across the valley to Courchevel, the Rossa on the Champagny side is the best option, you can even nap in the deck chairs! In bad weather head for the lower tree lined runs that lead down to Les Coches & Montchavin, and try the Chez Pat du Sauget. The Arpette is a good value restaurant in the main part of the piste and is easy to get to for most levels of skiers.

The star rating for the ski hire shops is an indication of the level of service; quality and variety of stock, and the space and decor of the shop. It is also a reflection on the price. A five star rated shop will offer great service and equipment but also will charge the highest price. Ski hire shops with a two star rating have less variety and older, poorer quality of stock but are cheapest.
