Its virtually above the tree line, its quite ugly, but its about the best place in Europe to learn to ski. A great ski school with the most steriotypical Ecole du Ski ESF guys you will ever meet. It could be a wind chill of -50 and they will still be there with just a pair of ray-bans and a ski band. How do they smoke a fag and ski at the same time? Can get very crowded, esp. at the main lift stations. Belle Plagne quite nice, but no night life. For the best bars go to Plagne Centre. If you want to know what altitude sickness feels like, then go up to the glacier and take the chair lift to the left. Great view of the whole planet from up there - one of the best around. So overal, a great place to catch the skiing / boarding bug. Don't go at peak times and make sure that if you go to Belle Plagne, that you buy a little sled and slide down to the town lower in the valley - if you've had enough vino you won't notice the last lift back is at 0.00 hrs.
